How to convert OBJ to DWG
- Add your .OBJ file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .DWG in a few seconds.
- Download your new .DWG file.
What to expect
- The mesh stays a mesh: curved surfaces remain faceted triangles, not smooth CAD surfaces or solids.
- Textures and materials from the OBJ/MTL pair are not represented in DWG.
- A dense, high-polygon OBJ produces a heavy DWG, since every triangle becomes drawing geometry.
Frequently asked questions
How faithful is an OBJ converted to DWG?
OBJ is a triangle mesh, so the DWG holds that same faceted geometry rather than smooth CAD surfaces or solids. Curved shapes stay as the many flat triangles the mesh described.
Why convert OBJ to DWG?
DWG is AutoCAD's native drawing format. Converting brings mesh geometry into a form CAD users can open and reference inside AutoCAD-based workflows.
What opens the resulting DWG?
DWG opens in AutoCAD and in free viewers such as DWG TrueView and the Autodesk Viewer. The mesh arrives as geometry, not as editable parametric objects.
What is lost in the conversion?
The material and texture data from the OBJ (its
.mtl file and image maps) and per-vertex texture coordinates do not carry into DWG, so the result is untextured geometry.Programs that convert OBJ: SolidWorks · Alibre Design Professional · LogiKal · PolyTrans|CAD+DCC · ViaCAD Pro · Autodesk Fusion 360
