DWG to Excel Conversion
Business Case
Problem Statement
AutoCAD DWG files contain valuable project data locked in proprietary format:
- Layer structures with drawing organization
- Block references with attribute data
- Text annotations and dimensions
- Geometric entities (lines, polylines, arcs)
- External references (xrefs)
Extracting this data typically requires AutoCAD licenses or complex programming.
Solution
DwgExporter.exe converts DWG files to structured Excel databases offline, without Autodesk licenses.
Business Value
- Zero license cost - No AutoCAD license required
