dwg to jpeg etc

Have you tried Autodesk Butterfly? You can upload your DWGs, share them to your colleagues, and even collaborate with them. You even can do drawings and modifications online!
You need to register.. but it's free.

edwinprakoso, very nice post, informative!

Thanks again, I'm takin' a serious look at Autodesk Butterfly!

[edwinprakoso]

I'm glad you like it, Tankman

I'm not sure it will be free forever, however it's good to have it now. I like to use it for collaboration meeting, very cool
Have you tried to invite more users?

Well you have to remember that all those formats are pixels and will never be as sharp as a vector image. Maybe have a jpeg as a thumbnail and then have it link to a PDF.

i have many drawings in dwg but wish to upload onto my website.............how can I convert a dwg file and retain its detail so it can be the same on my web page...........hope this makes sense.............have converted dwg to jpeg tiff gifff etc but it loses detail

You can post a dwg file to your wedpage. I just can't remember how it was done. It was many years ago, but it worked. I will think further on this and see if I can remember, but it definitely can be done, and it isn't that hard to do.

You used to could embed the AutoDesk Whip! driver in html pages to display dwf files.

pirdik: JPGOUT was suggested in post #2 and tried by the OP who did not like how pixelated the image turned out. He then asked for further suggestions.
