Converting to DXF

toDxf() exports one DWG as an ASCII DXF artifact. You can keep LibreDWG's default target or request one of the package's approved DXF versions.

Required command: LibreDWG dwg2dxf. See External tools.

Use the default target

use Mattmy\DwgConverter\Facades\Dwg;

$dxf = Dwg::toDxf(storage_path('app/private/floor-plan.dwg'))->convert();

$path = $dxf->storeAs('drawings', 'floor-plan.dxf', 's3');

No target flag is passed when you do not call toVersion().

Choose a target version

use Mattmy\DwgConverter\DxfVersion;

$dxf = Dwg::toDxf($request->file('drawing'))
    ->toVersion(DxfVersion::R2018)
    ->convert();

Supported cases are R12, R14, R2000, R2004, R2007, R2010, R2013, and R2018. toVersion() returns a new configured operation, so it does not affect later conversions.

Result contract

The result reports extension dxf and MIME type application/dxf. The package checks for a non-empty ASCII DXF with the required section and end markers, but that check does not guarantee every DWG object was preserved or that every CAD application will display the file identically.
