AutoDWG Conversion Server

With the help of AutoDWG Conversion Server you can seamlessly perform file type conversions over a centrally-managed server. It's capable of turning DWG files into DWF or PDF documents, as well as DWF into images. It doesn't need AutoCAD installed.

After a swift setup operation that shouldn't give you any trouble, you can check out the user-friendly interface, made from a small window with a well-structured layout, where you set up a folder as a watchlist, so that AutoDWG Conversion Server automatically converts all supported files it finds there as soon as they are copied, moved or created.

New profiles can be put together by specifying the operation type between converting DWG to PDF, converting DWG to images, and copying files. Once you indicate the watched directory, you can set an output folder for storing the converted files in.

The program enables you point out to two additional directories, in order to move the DWG file if the task is a success or failure, as well as set the output format data by creating a folders list with as many target items as you want.

Profile properties can be edited anytime. You can change the input folder, view log details with the action type, target path and time, hide the toolbar and status bar, manage SHX font paths, as well as start and stop the service with one click.

We haven't come across any problems in our tests, thanks to the fact that the utility didn't hang, crash or prompt error messages. Its impact on the machine's performance was minimal, and tasks were carried out rapidly.

To sum it up, AutoDWG Conversion Server offers an effective solution to automatically converting files between AutoCAD format, images and PDFs by monitoring folders. Too bad that it hasn't been updated for a long time. However, it's free to use.
