DWG files, the standard format for AutoCAD, can only be edited with AutoCAD or AutoCAD-compatible CAD software. However, even without expensive AutoCAD, you can use DARE's free drawing conversion service to convert DWG to DXF for free, allowing you to edit them in CAD software like Jw_cad.

AutoCAD has two workspaces: model space and layout (paper space). When saving in DWG format, drawings from both spaces can be saved. However, DXF and JWW do not have model/layout spaces, so typically only the model space drawing is saved.

DARE Scanner vectorizes any image with world-class precision tracing technology! Simply upload an image for automatic analysis and tracing, allowing anyone to easily convert raster images to vector format. The converted vector file can be downloaded in DXF format and edited or modified using CAD software.
