So we have directory after directory of AutoCAD DWG files of the various floors of the campus. Beyond *creating* the floorplans, we have no use for AutoCAD - all our applications work better with high quality PNG or vector PDF files.
I've been playing with Pipelines and jobs in GitLab recently, and I'm looking for a way to convert a DWG file to something more usable in my automation. Pretty much if a user checks in the updated DWG, it's exported to PNG and scp'd to our patch database server.
Have you looked at Linux libreDWG maybe? Or if you're willing to spend money, there are cloud companies that do conversions for you to svg.
I was trying QCad as there is a reference of dxf2png - but it keeps crashing in my instance of Fedora.
And have you tried LibreCAD or OpenSCAD to read in the file and then export in another format? John
