Convert CDW to DWG

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert CDW to DWG?
Yes - CDW converts to DWG.

The main interoperability path: open the .cdw in KOMPAS-3D and export to AutoCAD DWG (File > Save As / Export). KOMPAS both imports and exports binary DWG, so the drawing can then be opened in AutoCAD and most CAD tools. There's no reliable standalone .cdw->DWG converter outside KOMPAS because the format is proprietary; online services that claim it usually run KOMPAS server-side.
