Summary

ODA File Converter changes .dwg and .dxf files from one version to another. It offers a graphical interface as well as a command-line interface, and can process matching files from a source directory into a target directory using a chosen output version and file type. Users can set the input filter, which defaults to *.dwg;*.dxf, and can optionally process subdirectories or run an audit/repair operation as files load. Downloads are listed for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The listed Windows version supports Windows 10 or later on x64; Mac downloads require macOS 13.0 or later on Apple silicon or Intel. Linux packages are for x64 and require GLIBC 2.28 or higher, with an AppImage offered as a portable option. ODA describes the converter as an example project and free download 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.
