Total CAD Converter handles technical drawing conversion as a standalone Windows application. It reads DXF, DWG, DWF, PLT, HPGL, SVG, CGM, and SPL source files and writes PDF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, DXF, WMF, CGM, HPGL, SVG, PS, and SWF. No AutoCAD or other CAD software installation is necessary for operation.
The program processes files in batch, including entire folder trees with subdirectories. Users control output page size, resolution, color mode, line thickness, rotation, and cropping. Multi-page PDF or TIFF files can be created from several drawings. Text watermarks, page numbers, and date stamps are available for document protection and organization.
Total CAD Converter includes command-line support for scripting. A server version with ActiveX interface is available separately. The application runs on Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11, with a 30-day trial period and a one-time license fee.
