Are you trying to convert a .DWG to a .GEO? Or are you just trying to create a .GEO file?

@pierre_genevoisENVVZ ,

The GEO file type is primarily associated with TurboCAD.

If that is your case, consider asking the TurboCAD Forum.

Otherwise, provide your ABOUT information.

I try

- either to generate directly that simple 2D geometry using a text editor, with extension .geo,

- or to use a software (e.g. Autocad) for both generating that simple geometry and converting it to a .geo file.

Unfortunately, AutoCAD does not work with *.geo file types.

I suggest you look at other options.

What are you trying to accomplish by using a .geo file? Is there another file type that might be more suitable for 2D work that you can use? .geo seems to be made for 3D use.
