Convert SketchUp .skp to AutoCAD DWG (.dwg)

Open your SketchUp files in AutoCAD and any DWG-compatible app. Start free — no plugin, no SketchUp Pro subscription.

Why you need to downgrade first

SketchUp files saved in newer versions (2024, 2025, 2026) can't be opened by SketchUp Make 2017 or SketchUp Free — which are the free tools you need to export DWG. DownConvert bridges that gap: downgrade to SketchUp 2017, then export to AutoCAD DWG for free.

1. Upload .skp

Drop your SketchUp file — any version 2017 to 2026.

2. Downgrade to 2017

We convert your file to SketchUp 2017 in seconds.

3. Export to DWG

Open in SketchUp Free / Make 2017 and export as .dwg.

Who uses AutoCAD DWG?

AutoCAD, Revit, BricsCAD, DraftSight — mostly for 2D drafting, technical drawings, CAD workflows. If your workflow needs your SketchUp geometry in one of these tools, DWG is usually the safest exchange format.

What is preserved

  • Geometry, groups and components
  • Materials and textures (when the target format supports them)
  • Layer structure and component hierarchy
  • Scale and units
