DWG stands for “Drawing”. It is a proprietary binary file format for storing two- and three-dimensional design data and metadata. It allows users to create detailed drawings and designs for products, machines, and buildings. The DWG file contains all the information needed to describe the shape, dimensions, annotations, and metadata of the designed objects. DWG format is compatible with many 3D drawing and CAD programs, making it easy to transfer drawings between programs.
OBJ stands for Wavefront OBJ, a standardized file format used to store 3D geometry data. OBJ files are widely used in computer-aided design (CAD) and 3D modeling applications. They store information about geometric objects, including lines, polygons, freeform curves, and surfaces. In addition to encoding the surface geometry of a 3D model, OBJ files can also store information about colors, textures, and material properties. CAD software or 3D modeling programs generate these files as an exportable end product for 3D rendering. The file extension for OBJ files is “.obj”.
To convert files from DWG to OBJ use an online tool that supports mass conversion, like Convertjack. Such a tool transforms single or bulk images at once to save time.
Go to Choose File, and select any DWG photos you want to convert. If you want to do a bulk conversion, click Choose File and select all the DWG pics you want to convert.
After uploading the DWG image, click the “Select Format” button at the center. A drop-down menu will pop up; select OBJ.
On the bottom right corner of the display, click the “Convert” button. Your converted OBJ file will be ready for download.
Click the “Download” button on the right side of the OBJ file, and the converted image will be downloaded. If you convert multiple files, each file will have a “Download all” button in front of it, and you can click each button to download all the converted files.
To save a DWG file as a OBJ file, you first convert it to OBJ and then download it.
Instead of converting a file manually from DWG to OBJ, use an online tool like Convertjack to convert the file without losing any details.
After converting the DWG file, Download the OBJ file and save it in the default folder for all your downloads on the desktop or mobile.
One of the advantages of OBJ is its ability to store detailed 3D geometry, including surfaces, polygons, and texture data, making it widely used in 3D modeling and rendering workflows. The main disadvantage of DWG is that it is a CAD-oriented proprietary format focused on 2D and 3D drafting, while OBJ is an open format designed for exchanging 3D models between different software platforms. Converting DWG to OBJ is necessary to export 3D geometry from a CAD drawing for 3D modeling.
