Convert OBJ to DWG: Everything You Need to Know

OBJ to DWG: Resources

Below, you'll discover a compendium of resources dedicated to the interoperability and exchange of OBJ and DWG file sources. These will aid in the smooth conversion from OBJ to DWG files.


OBJ File OBJ

The OBJ (Alias Wavefront Object) is a text-based file format that is widely used for 3D geometry objects across various 3D software programs. The OBJ file format can store named group objects, surface materials with transparent colors and texture images, and geometry primitives in the form of quads or triangles. However, it’s important to note that during the OBJ file conversion using our Autoconverter software, any quad primitives will be simplified into two triangles, as only triangular facets are supported. Additionally, due to its textual format, OBJ files tend to have larger sizes compared to binary file formats like 3DS (3D Studio) or SKP (SketchUp).


DWG Drawing DWG

The DWG (AutoCAD Drawing) binary file format, developed by Autodesk for AutoCAD, is also supported by other software packages such as ZWCAD, BricsCAD, and IntelliCAD. As a result, DWG files have become the industry standard in CAD. Our add-ons, Automesher Application and Automapki Application, for your DWG editor, enable you to effortlessly convert DWG drawing entities into various 3D and GIS file formats. This facilitates seamless sharing of your AutoCAD designs across different platforms and applications.
