1.1.8 DWG Import/Export

The DWG importer and exporter are not included in the QW-Modeller / FreeCAD distribution. The DWG files libraries should be downloaded manually by the user.
Please note, that DWG support requires DXF libraries (see DXF Import/Export for more information).

After opening the DWG file for the first time, the following message will appear in the Report View:

Teigha File Converter not found, DWG support is disabled.

The Teigha Converter is a small freely available utility that allows converting between several versions of DWG and DXF files. FreeCAD and QW-Modeller can use it to offer DWG import and export, by converting DWG files to the DXF format under the hood, then using its standard DXF importer to import the file contents.

The installation package is available at http://www.opendesign.com/guestfiles/TeighaFileConverter. After installation, if the utility is not found automatically by QW-Modeller, you might need to set the path to the converter manually. For that purpose go to the Preferences dialogue and use Edit®Preferences... command from the main menu. Since the DWG options are related to Draft workbench and they are not present in the Preferences dialogue by default, the user must firstly activate Draft workbench and then use Edit®Preferences... command.
