For what it's worth - I've never found Studio (any version) able to
open a single one of my dwgs. I wouldn't recommend that - I'd go along
with the DXF suggestion...you can then use something like ArcView (or
maybe MapWindow could do it) to import the dxf and export as a shp
file).

There exists an OpenDWG alliance with a DWG library, but calling it "open source" is incorrect in my opinion. It is non-trivial to understand the DWG file format, especially since the 2004 version came out. I don't think any open source projects support DWG. If you have access to AutoCAD or similar, try exporting it as DXF as that is an open format: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoCAD_DXF Your easiest bet is to purchase MapGuide Studio which can read in DWG files, and store them as SDF's (I think?). You can then use FDOToolbox to convert them to SHP. However, the current license model requires you to purchase MGE to get a copy of Studio, so that may be too much. Otherwise you can look at FME Universal Translator, which is capable of converting just about anything: http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/UT/welcome_to_fme_universal_translator.htm Regards, Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S padmini godavarthi skrev: --
