Here’s a full guide to converting ZW1 (ZWCAD backup/auto-save file) to DWG (standard AutoCAD drawing format). To convert a , you must first restore

2. Direct method: using ZWCAD (free if you own ZWCAD)

Steps:

  1. Open ZWCAD.
  2. Go to File → Open (or press Ctrl+O).
  3. Change file filter to “Backup files (*.zw1)”.
  4. Select your .zw1 file and open it.
  5. Go to File → Save As.
  6. Choose DWG format (e.g., AutoCAD 2018 DWG).
  7. Save.

✅ This is the most reliable method.

Conversion Methods

There are a couple of methods to convert ZW1 to DWG:

  1. Using ZWCAD:

    • Open the ZW1 file in ZWCAD.
    • Use the "Save As" feature to save the file directly in DWG format.

  2. Using AutoCAD:

    • Some versions of AutoCAD can open ZW1 files directly. Once opened, you can save the file in DWG format.
    • However, compatibility might vary based on the ZW1 file version and AutoCAD version.

  3. Online Conversion Tools:

    • There are online tools and file conversion services that can convert ZW1 to DWG. These tools are convenient but may pose risks regarding data security and the integrity of the converted file.

5. Important Warnings

3. Rename trick (no conversion – try first)

Sometimes .zw1 is just a renamed .dwg backup.

Steps:

  1. Copy the .zw1 file (work on a copy).
  2. Rename it to filename.dwg.
  3. Try opening in:
    • ZWCAD (best)
    • AutoCAD
    • DraftSight
    • LibreCAD (may fail if file version is new)

✅ Works if the file wasn’t compressed or encrypted.

Detailed Conversion Steps Using ZWCAD

  1. Launch ZWCAD: Open ZWCAD on your computer.
  2. Open ZW1 File: Go to "File" > "Open" and select the ZW1 file you wish to convert.
  3. Save As DWG: Once the file is open, go to "File" > "Save As". In the dialog box, choose the DWG format from the list of file types.
  4. Configure DWG Options: You might have options to configure the DWG file version and settings. Ensure these are set according to your requirements.
  5. Save: Click "Save" to convert and save your file in DWG format.

Method 1 — Use ZWCAD / ZWSoft (recommended)

  1. Install ZWCAD or the ZWSoft product that produced the ZW1 file (use a version that supports ZW1).
  2. Open the ZW1 file:
    • File → Open → choose the .zw1 file.
  3. Verify drawing fidelity:
    • Check layers, line types, blocks, dimensions, text styles, hatches, and external references (Xrefs).
  4. Export / Save as DWG:
    • File → Save As → choose DWG format (pick a DWG version: AutoCAD 2013/2018/202x — choose the version compatible with your target).
    • Alternatively: File → Export → DWG (if present).
  5. Reopen resulting DWG in AutoCAD or other DWG viewers to confirm:
    • Inspect geometry, text, dimensions, hatch fills, and block references.
  6. If fonts or linetypes are missing, install matching fonts/linetypes or reassign in the DWG.
