Technical note

Before you convert PCX to DWG

PCX is made of pixels and DWG stores geometry, so the conversion traces the image into real lines, arcs and polylines. The result is editable in CAD: entities can be selected, snapped to and measured, rather than a bitmap wrapped inside a DWG container, which is what a viewer or a lightweight converter usually produces. It is still derived geometry, so expect contours rather than a structured drawing. Dimensions, blocks and meaningful layer names were never in the PCX to begin with. A line in a PCX image is several pixels wide, so tracing it can mean different things and the mode is yours to choose. Centreline returns a single line running down the middle of each stroke, which is what a scanned drawing needs: one entity per line, snappable and dimensionable, rather than a long thin rectangle around it. Outline follows both edges and returns closed shapes, which suits clipart, logos and anything that will be filled or cut. A precision setting controls how closely the traced paths follow the pixel edges. One thing to plan for: vectorised output from this path is black and white, so colour in the PCX does not survive as colour in the DWG.

After nearly two years of relying on online converters, I finally installed standalone software. Why didn't I do this sooner? Now I can work completely offline — no more wasted time uploading/downloading or eating through my data allowance!

FAQ

PCX to DWG Conversion

What are PCX files?

The PCX (Personal Computer Exchange) image file format is associated with PC Paintbrush, an image editing software initially designed for MS-DOS by ZSoft Corporation. At first, PCX files stored a limited range of colors but in time their range was extended to a 24-bit (true color) palette, and PC Paintbrush was adapted for Windows too. Though widely popular during the days of MS-DOS, the PCX format in time lost its appeal and was gradually replaced by formats such as JPEG and PNG.

What are DWG files?

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.
