Convert DXF to JWW

Turn DXF files from other CAD software into JWW drawings for people who use Jw_cad.

Steps

1. Choose File > Convert DXF to JWW…, or open a .dxf file in JWW Bridge. A DXF tab opens.
2. Check the converted result in the preview in the middle.
3. Check the Paper and Scale on the right. Both are chosen automatically, but you can change them.
4. Click Save as JWW…, then choose where to save the file.

DXF files exported from Jw_cad

For DXF files exported from Jw_cad (R12 or 2010), JWW Bridge restores the paper size, scale, layer groups, layer names, colors and line types as closely as possible.

Please note

• Things the JWW format can’t hold are converted to the closest equivalent: vertical text becomes one text per character, random lines become solid lines, and so on. The Result section on the right lists what was converted and how.
• In older versions of Jw_cad, such as 8.25a, characters that are not in Shift-JIS (such as Simplified Chinese) appear as “?”.
• Always open the converted drawing in Jw_cad and check it before you use it.

To convert many DXF files, use JWW (from DXF) in Batch conversion.
