Convert DWF to DWG

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

Possible but lossy and often the wrong move: DWF is a published derivative, so converting back yields imperfect geometry without the original layers/blocks intelligence. Tools like 'Any DWF to DWG Converter' (AnyDWG) and some CAD imports do it. Best practice: ask the sender for the original DWG instead of reverse-converting.
