SVG files are widely used in graphic design due to their scalability and clarity. However, when it comes to technical applications like AutoCad, converting these files into a compatible format is essential. In our app, we make it easy for you to convert your SVG files into DWG or DXF formats.
Sourcing Your SVG Files
Whether you're a designer or an architect, you can source your SVG files in several ways:
- Canva: Create or download vector graphics directly from Canva.
- Adobe: Use Adobe Illustrator to design and export high-quality SVG files.
- SVG Banks: Browse online libraries and SVG banks for pre-made vector graphics.
How to Convert SVG to DWG
Our app streamlines the conversion process by handling the technical adjustments automatically. Once you upload your SVG file, our conversion algorithm first converts it into a DXF file. This DXF format is optimized for compatibility, ensuring that all the vector details and dimensions are accurately preserved. After the conversion, you can open the DXF file in AutoCad, where you simply copy and paste the converted content into your DWG working file.
This two-step process guarantees that your graphics maintain precision and quality while integrating smoothly with AutoCad's drafting environment.
TIP: Don't forget to zoom-out after opening the converted DXF in AutoCad.
Importing into Revit
After exporting your AutoCAD file you can import it into Revit. Revit offers two primary methods:
- Link CAD: This creates a live link to your DWG file, allowing for external updates without needing to re-import.
- Import CAD: This method embeds the AutoCAD file directly into your Revit project. It is ideal for static drawings.
To import, navigate to the Insert tab in Revit, then select either Link CAD or Import CAD and locate your exported file.
