Total CAD Converter


Total CAD Converter — Free Download. Batch CAD file conversion

Total CAD Converter is a standalone batch conversion tool for technical drawings. It processes DXF, DWG, DWF, DWFX, PLT, HPGL, HPGL2, SVG, CGM, and SPL files into PDF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, DXF, and other vector or raster formats without requiring an AutoCAD installation. The application includes a step-by-step wizard for applying page size, color depth, line weight, and watermark settings across entire folders, plus command-line support for automated workflows and server-side processing.

  • Batch conversion of CAD files. The core function processes large sets of DXF, DWG, DWF, PLT, HPGL, SVG, and CGM drawings in one operation. Users add files or entire folders, select an output format, and the program converts each drawing sequentially while preserving the original file structure for subfolders.
  • Output to PDF and PDF/A. Converts technical drawings into standard PDF documents for sharing, printing, or archiving. The PDF engine supports user permissions, password encryption, and digital signatures. PDF/A output is available for long-term document preservation requirements.
  • Output to TIFF with compression control. Renders CAD files as TIFF images with adjustable DPI settings, photometric interpretation, and compression modes. Suitable for faxing, document management systems, or high-resolution printing where raster output is required.
  • Output to JPEG, PNG, and BMP. Exports drawings as common raster image formats for use in presentations, web pages, or email attachments. JPEG quality and smoothing parameters can be defined during conversion. PNG output preserves transparency where applicable.
  • Output to vector formats: DXF, WMF, CGM, HPGL, SVG, PS, SWF. Generates vector-based output for editing in other CAD applications or for use in print workflows. SVG output suits web-based viewing, while PS and SWF cover PostScript printing and legacy Flash viewing scenarios.
  • Combine multiple drawings into one file. Merges several CAD files into a single multi-page PDF or TIFF document. When converting multiple folders, the program can combine output files from each folder separately, producing one consolidated document per source folder.
  • Resize, crop, and rotate drawings. Applies geometric transformations during conversion. Users can scale output dimensions, crop unwanted margins, or rotate pages by 90, 180, or 270 degrees. These operations run in batch mode across all selected files.
  • Color mode and line weight adjustment. Converts color drawings to black-and-white or grayscale to improve line visibility when yellow or light-colored lines are otherwise unclear. The line weight scale parameter increases or decreases stroke thickness in the output file.
  • Watermark and page counter insertion. Adds text watermarks to the header or footer of output files to prevent unauthorized use or to display copyright information. Page counters and date stamps can be placed on every page of the generated document.
  • XCS project file support. Opens XCS project files created by xTool Creative Space, the software for xTool laser cutters and engravers. The converter extracts design data from XCS files and outputs PDF, DXF, SVG, or standard image formats, removing the manual export step normally required by the proprietary application.
  • Command-line and server-side operation. Provides command-line support for scripting and integration with automated workflows. A separate server version, Total CAD ConverterX, enables ActiveX-based conversion in ASP or PHP applications, licensed per server rather than per workstation.
  • Built-in preview panel. Displays a visual preview of the selected drawing before conversion, helping users confirm the correct file is chosen. The preview updates as files are selected from the folder tree navigation panel.

Total CAD Converter is produced by CoolUtils, a software company specializing in file conversion and document processing utilities. The program was first released in the early 2000s and has been under continuous development since that time. It is written in C++ for native Windows performance and low system resource consumption. The codebase relies on proprietary parsing libraries for reading various CAD formats, particularly DXF and DWG structures, without dependence on Autodesk components.
