DWG to DWF Java

DWG is a native format for several CAD applications as they store two or three-dimensional design data and metadata. Some applications or workflow requirements may need to convert a DWG file to a DWF file. Accordingly, this article explains how to convert a DWG file to a DWF format programmatically in Java.
