njmike Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Does anyone know how I can convert a sketchup drawing to an autocad dwg file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I think there is a .dxf export download for sketchup (if you don't already have it). Try a google search for it. Then simply type dxfin in Autocad and select the newly created .dxf file. It should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njmike Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 No dxf out in sketchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Yea, you'll need to download it. I found one available for a free trial at http://www.sycode.com/products/dxf_export_su/index.htm I've never used it nor do I recommend it. Maybe do some searches on your own to find one that suits you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Does anyone know how I can convert a sketchup drawing to an autocad dwg file? File > Save As?? Or isn't there an export to DWG format? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipsophrenic Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Did a bit of searching, the version of sketchup that allows you to convert to a dwg is Sketchup Pro, i think you have to pay for that one.

architecture68-raff Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 You can download Sketchup Pro as a trial version. I think it is limited to 8 hours of trial, at least it used to be. You can use the Sketchup Pro installation to do conversions when needed. I'm not really sure if you can have Sketchup Pro installed along side a free version install -- never tried that. Maybe try to use a separate computer if possible to avoid conflicts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofredlay Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Mike, if you can't get it converted upload your skp here and I will see what I can do. That or send me a PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
