Converting DWG to PDF, GIF or other format
 
1 Attachment(s)
Can anyone recommend a free online viewer or converter for DWG to any common graphic format? 2nd choice would to install a converter - not thrilled about installing software from the web.

Today I tried converting DWG to PDF at www.zamzar.com, and the PDF was the wrong proportion - cutting off the left side of the image. I have been using www.zamzar.com for years and doing a great job with other formats.

Original DWG is 11x17 (ratio 1.55)
Converted file is 600x800 (ratio 1.33)

Converted file is attached, also at the links below.

If that doesn't work, this will get to it:

Thanks!

You did not attach the DWG file; I would have tried CorelDraw to
convert it.
