- October 4, 2017. Solibri Model Checker (SMC) supports the DWG format from AutoCAD; however, it is always suggested to export to the IFC file format for the best results in SMC. There is no way to install object enablers over SMC, so if your AutoCAD-based application creates custom AEC objects, they have to be converted to solids in the exported.
- Only a currently active drawing can be exported to IFC. The export process generates 2 files: An IFC file that contains information specified for project number and name, file path, and external references (xrefs). A LOG file that contains data about information (objects and geographic location) in the drawing. This file is stored in the same location as the IFC file.
The IFC is a neutral file format that allows the exchange of information between different CAD and BIM systems. The format sets international standards for importing and exporting construction.
DWG (which stands for 'Drawing') is a proprietary format of AutoCAD, a program widely used for creating engineering and architectural projects. The format is also a default extension used by several other computer-aided design (CAD) pieces of software, including IntelliCAD, Caddie or DraftSight. DWG files contain complex design structures including several layers, which can be 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional.
The quick and simple way to handle your files is to get a quality piece of software, such as reaConverter. This software is extremely efficient in managing a wide range of batch conversions. As you will soon realize, reaConverter will help you avoid spending countless hours trying to figure out how to convert multiple DWG files as once.

Convert Industry Foundation Classes data to AutoCAD drawing.
We have found 4 software records in our database eligible for .ifc to .dwg file format conversion.
Various 3D modeling and CAD programs can import .ifc files (Industry Foundation Classes) so it is likely some sort of ifc to dwg conversion is possible. This seems to be used for architecture designs or similar CAD files, so programs like AutoCAD Architecture are probably the best choice.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned ifc to dwg. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.

DWG
A dwg file extension is used for common CAD file format, originally used by AutoCAD. A DWG is a proprietary format and can only be created in AutoCAD. Other CAD programs can usually import it, but not create its proprietary form. It's because of this, that DWGs are often exported to DXF interchange format, so they can be seamlessly used in other CAD programs.
