QGIS to DWG Converter

About This Tool

This tool converts GIS vector data from QGIS into DWG CAD format, designed for professionals who must translate spatial data into drafting workflows. It accepts common vector formats such as SHP, GeoJSON, GeoPackage, or a QGIS project package, and outputs a CAD file in a configurable DWG version. The conversion preserves geometric primitives (points, lines, polygons) and can export associated attribute data if enabled, enabling CAD users to query, annotate, and weave GIS data into drawings without manual redraws.
Conceptually, the tool performs data normalization: it registers the source CRS, optionally reprojects to the target CRS, and maps GIS geometry to corresponding DWG entities. It creates CAD layers from GIS layer names or a user-supplied mapping, transfers attribute fields when requested, and uses a consistent unit system to maintain spatial fidelity. The process avoids altering the source data and produces a self-contained DWG export suitable for CAD tools.
Audience and differentiators: engineers, surveyors, urban planners, and architects benefit by accelerating CAD handoffs and reducing translation errors. Unique value comes from end-to-end vector conversion with optional batch operation, layer-level control, and explicit handling of units and CRS, all within a lightweight online tool. Typical use cases include converting street networks, parcel boundaries, and utility layouts for incorporation into CAD drawings and BIM workflows.
Core features and use cases: input ingestion of GIS layers, DWG version selection, optional CRS reprojection, per-layer mapping, attribute export, and batch processing. Outputs include a DWG file and an optional per-layer report for audit trails. Users can validate results in CAD and iterate on mappings to improve fidelity in subsequent runs.
