CAD file guides

Choose a starting point

If you have a JWW drawing to deliver, start with the JWW to DXF preparation guide. It explains the questions to settle with the receiving team before choosing export settings. If you already have a DXF, use the handoff checklist to review it in the receiving application. The R12 sample guide is for a different task: checking that a small, known file can be opened and measured.

• Prepare: agree on the receiving CAD application, version and units.
• Inspect: open the example, check its geometry and understand what it cannot test.
• Review: compare the actual exported drawing with its source and record any differences.

What you can do on Draw Convert today

The demo lets you select JWW files on your device, review their names and sizes, and explore the output and download screens. Selecting a file does not upload or convert its contents. The downloadable DXF was prepared separately; it is not a conversion of the selected JWW drawing.

These guides remain useful alongside your own CAD application. They do not certify an export or promise that a particular pair of software versions will preserve every object. Keep the source file and verify important measurements in the application your recipient actually uses. If you need a working export today, use an application that explicitly supports your input file and the requested output version.

Make the review repeatable

Record the source revision, export settings and receiving application before testing. Measure a known distance rather than relying on a screenshot. Then review text, layers, line styles and plotted output. A mismatch is easier to investigate when the receiving team can identify the exact file and settings that produced it.

Each guide has a specific purpose and links to the next useful step. The R12 guide describes the geometry in our own downloadable file; the handoff checklist provides a reusable review sequence. These are preparation and verification aids, not a substitute for checking a real project drawing.
