fcfinishes 0 Posted September 20, 2014 I need help changing a DWG to something that I can open with Inkscape. I cant even load the darn thing onto the forum, so I will have to email it to someone. If anyone could help me with this it would be awesome. Thanks Darin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fcfinishes 0 Posted September 21, 2014 Cool thank you. I used that and it says completed, but I can not find the file and when I made a folder to put them in it continues to be empty. And it loaded the stupid AVG as my browser page, but that I can fix. I missed the check box for that one.lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fcfinishes 0 Posted September 21, 2014 So I fought with this and could not change this file at all. It would appear that autocad breaks down a drawing alot ! It kept saying can only convert 3 file in free version, I only had one in the window. I am going to just have the customer have someone convert in illustrator since I do not use it. Thanks for trying. Darin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MZ SKEETER 4,708 Posted September 21, 2014 Do you have another software program other than Inkscape that it can import into? I may be able to import the DWG file, but not export to a svg file.. Don't you have a software that can import .eps files? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted September 21, 2014 how big is the file? If you can get it uploaded we may be able to convert it for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
30-284 86 Posted September 22, 2014 The free cs2 illustrator will open DWG files as well. Download it and give it a try. Donn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
