Conversion settings
In AutoCAD the Model tab is real size (1 unit = 1 mm) and the Layout1 tab is the Jw_cad sheet arrangement. Please check the result before use.
Features
- Preview and measure before downloading: See the model (real size) and Layout1 (sheet), click two points to measure with snapping to ends and centers.
- Save as PDF: A vector PDF of the sheet layout, at the drawing paper size or fitted to A4/A3. Lines, dashes, fills and Japanese text stay sharp at any zoom.
- Batch conversion, free, no file count limit: Drop many JWW files at once and download them all as one ZIP.
- Conversion report: Every dimension checked against the DXF, line weight changes, object counts and processing notes on one printable page.
- Real-size model space: Even sheets that mix 1:20, 1:3 and 1:1 details measure at real size. Every dimension is checked against the DXF on each conversion.
- Sheet layout rebuilt: Layout1 gets the paper size and one viewport per scale, matching the Jw_cad printout.
- Japanese text stays text: Text remains editable (MS Gothic / MS Mincho) with Jw_cad character widths and positions.
- Lines, arcs, ellipses, fills, dashed lines, blocks and layers are converted as they are. Only line weights are rounded to the nearest DXF standard weight.
- No upload: Everything runs in your browser.
- Works offline: After the first visit it works without a network, and it can be installed as an app.
Questions and answers
- Is it really free?
- Yes. No limits or fees for the number or size of files. The site is paid for by the ads on the page.
- Are my drawings uploaded?
- No. The conversion runs inside your browser; the drawing files are never sent to a server.
- Do I need Jw_cad?
- No. Any JWW file can be converted on a computer without Jw_cad.
- The sizes look wrong in AutoCAD
- The Model tab is real size (1 unit = 1 mm); Layout1 is the paper. Measure in the Model tab — mixed-scale sheets are real size there too.
- Which JWW versions are supported?
- JWW from Jw_cad 2.30 up to 8.x. The DOS .jwc format is not supported.
- May I use it for work?
- Yes, free for personal and business use. Drawings never leave your computer. Check the result in your CAD before handing it over.
- Is the text the same size in AutoCAD?
- Yes. AutoCAD sizes TrueType text by its capital-letter height, so the DXF text height is adjusted per font to make Japanese text the same size as in Jw_cad.
