DWG Module

CAD drawings in your application: a DWG drawing type whose products carry CAD symbols drawn to scale, for work that will be shared with or exported to a CAD package.

What it provides

A DWG drawing type in every project, with the same interface as the other drawings: browse the catalog, place products, arrange them, annotate.
DWG symbols on products: a drawing file per product, uploaded in the admin product editor. A CAD symbol carries its own geometry, so the file defines the product’s size and is drawn to scale.
Drawings that CAD users can take further: what your users lay out is exported for the CAD package, the CNC mill or the fabricator, so a custom panel or enclosure designed in your application is manufactured as designed.
Drawing conversions: DWG and DXF files converted to and from the Stardraw Design formats, or drawn as PNG, SVG and SVGZ, through the API, one file at a time or in batches, on dedicated conversion workers. Upload a file, ask for the format you need and collect the result; the assistant can do the same through its tools.
Previews of the DWG and DXF symbols in the admin product editor, drawn by the same conversion service.

What it needs

Each product that should appear on a DWG drawing needs a DWG symbol. A product without one is placeable on the other drawing types but not here.
