Summary
ODA File Converter changes .dwg and .dxf files between versions. It offers a graphical interface and a command-line interface, with batch processing that reads matching files from a source directory and writes them to a target directory in the selected type and version. The input filter defaults to *.dwg;*.dxf and can be changed. Optional settings let you include subdirectories or audit and repair each file as it loads. Downloads are listed for Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows. The listed Windows version requires Windows 10 or later on x64; Mac downloads require macOS 13.0 or later on Apple silicon or Intel. Linux packages are for x64 systems with GLIBC 2.28 or higher, and an AppImage is available. ODA describes the converter as a free example project demonstrating its SDKs and says it does not distribute the converter itself. Non-members may use it only for non-commercial applications. The listed plan is 0.00 USD per free.
