I have a cad file in dwg format. When I use cad exchanger to view this file, it is not the same as when viewing with autocad software. 

Pictures when viewed with cad exchanger: 

And here is the picture when viewed in autocad:




My cad file:  uploads/914881/tech-01-02_1.dwg" rel="nofollow - uploads/914881/tech-01-02_1.dwg

CAD Exchanger is not an Autodesk software. Don't expect third party software fully understand DWG files. You can use any Autodesk viewer (free) to display DWG files reliably.

See e.g. the Budweiser DWG benchmark to test how a particular software understands DWG format.

I want to use cad exchanger sdk to convert dwg file to gltf but also get the same error as above. Do you have a way to convert dwg to gltf?

Thanks you!
