Is there a way to write a command to convert or save autocad files as .cf2 format?

[ADITHYA_CHALLAPALLI]

I am trying to know if it possible to save or convert autocad files into .cf2 format.

Help yourself online if you don't actually possess a program that does the conversion for you already

Yes, I saw we can do this online, but wanted to see if I can have it as a command in autocad. Thanks.

I tried the first two online converters and the first one failed completely and the 2nd one gave me a PDF which was nothing like the size of the DWG!

If you download this (free program) PicView8 you can convert to .CF2 no problem as long as you don't use too new a version of Autocad file.

No such command exists in the program or as an add-on as far as I can search. Must not be a high-demand need yet.

There are converters from DXF you can try on your own PC outside of the program, here is one

I had a routine to convert DWG to .CF2 written for me, I will try and find out if the programmer is still active.

It works from within Bricscad so would probably need tweaking for Autocad, but it won't be free.

I tried using the software but looks like it crashed every time with autocad 2024.

[ADITHYA_CHALLAPALLI]

Sure, that would greatly help.

Is this a step you skipped perhaps

If it's any help here is the specification for the .CF2 format in case you have a friendly programmer at your end.

This is an open format so there are no copyright issues distributing this document.
