How to Convert DWG to GLTF?
Get it done in a flash - export DWG drawings to GLTF with three quick steps:
Install Automesher Application
Export GLTF files directly from DWG drawings using Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD software.
Execute GLTF Export
Enter AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the 3D entities (e.g., Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, or 3D Face) from your DWG model space that you want to export.
Save as GLTF File
Select GLTF (*.gltf, *.glb) as file type, choose the destination folder and file name, then click Save to complete the export.

What is a DWG File? (AutoCAD 2D/3D CAD Drawing Explained)
The DWG file format is a proprietary binary format developed by Autodesk for storing 2D drawings and 3D models in CAD (Computer-Aided Design) workflows. As the native format for AutoCAD, DWG files are widely recognized as the industry standard across architecture, engineering, and construction sectors for their precision, flexibility, and cross-platform compatibility.
Key Features of DWG Files
- Broad Compatibility: DWG files work seamlessly with popular CAD programs like AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, and IntelliCAD, ensuring easy sharing and collaboration across different software environments.
- High-Precision Vector Data: DWG files store exact vector-based 2D graphics, 3D models, and rich metadata, making them ideal for detailed blueprints, architectural designs, and complex engineering projects.
- Efficient Use of Blocks: DWG drawings support reusable "blocks" - predefined components like symbols or templates - that help streamline design workflows, ensure consistency, and reduce file sizes.
DWG File Conversion Made Simple

GLTF and GLB 3D File Format
The GLTF (GL Transmission Format) and GLB file types are modern open standards developed by the Khronos Group for efficient storage, transmission, and rendering of 3D models. Designed for the web, gaming, VR/AR, and real-time applications, these formats enable compact, high-performance 3D asset workflows across platforms.
Key Features of GLTF and GLB Files
- GLTF Versions:
- GLTF 1.0: Supports basic geometry, textures, simple materials, and skeletal animations with joint hierarchies.
- GLTF 2.0: Adds advanced features like PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, morph targets, skinning, and enhanced animation capabilities.
- ASCII vs Binary: GLTF files are human-readable (JSON format), while GLB files combine 3D data, textures, and materials into a compact, binary format for faster loading and easier distribution.
- Embedded Textures: Both GLTF and GLB can embed textures directly, creating self-contained 3D assets ideal for web and mobile applications.
Convert GLTF and GLB Files
With Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can easily import, export, and convert GLTF and GLB files to formats like OBJ, FBX, STL, and more. Our software supports Draco compression, enabling significantly smaller file sizes while preserving the quality and performance of your 3D assets.
