Convert your PDF floor plans
into editable DWG for AutoCAD
FloorScan's AI detects walls, doors, windows and rooms on your PDF plan — even scanned — and generates a multi-layer CAD file that AutoCAD opens natively and saves as DWG in one click. No spaghetti vectorization: real editable entities.
From PDF upload to downloaded CAD file
Concrete, partitions, doors, windows, footprint — separate and filterable
Editable: real polylines and blocks, not a traced image
Why FloorScan beats a classic PDF→DWG converter
Classic PDF→DWG converters trace the drawing: you get thousands of meaningless little segments on a single layer, impossible to edit. FloorScan does the opposite: its AI understands the plan — every wall, door, window and room is detected as an object, then exported as a clean CAD entity on its dedicated layer. The result: a lightweight file you edit like a native drawing.
In practice: FloorScan exports a DXF — Autodesk's open exchange format, the DWG's twin. AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD or the free DWG TrueView open it natively; "Save As → DWG" and you're done, with zero loss. The scale is in real meters ($INSUNITS=6): your plan drops into Revit, ArchiCAD or Civil 3D at the right size with no manual rescaling.
What you get in AutoCAD
Separate discipline layers
Concrete, partitions, doors, windows and footprint each on their own layer — isolate or hide in one click.
Typed entities, not tracing
Closed polylines for walls and rooms, blocks for openings — individually editable.
Real scale in meters
Auto-detected scale (dimensions, 1:S title-block scale) and $INSUNITS=6: the plan measures right, directly.
Scanned plans accepted
The AI works at pixel level: a scanned PDF, a photo or a PNG/JPG image is enough — no vector PDF needed.
Compatible with the whole DWG ecosystem
AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD, DraftSight, LibreCAD, Revit (import), QGIS — the DXF opens everywhere.
Multi-page and multi-storey
Multi-page PDFs: pick the storey to convert, or process each level and assemble the project.
Frequently asked — PDF to DWG
Does FloorScan export a .dwg file directly?
FloorScan exports a DXF — Autodesk's open exchange format, strictly equivalent to DWG in content. AutoCAD (or the free DWG TrueView) opens it natively: "Save As → DWG" produces your .dwg in one click, with zero data loss. It's Autodesk's recommended path for interoperability.
Does it work with a scanned plan or a photo?
Yes. Unlike converters that require a vector PDF, FloorScan's AI analyzes pixels: scanned plans, photos of paper plans, PNG, JPG or raster PDFs all work. Detection quality depends on document sharpness — a straight, high-contrast scan gives the best results.
Is the plan's scale preserved in the DWG?
Yes. FloorScan detects the scale automatically (vector dimensions in the PDF, 1:S title-block scale, door widths) and you can recalibrate with a known total area or a 2-point calibration. The exported file is in real meters: in AutoCAD, a 3 m partition measures exactly 3 units.
