ODA File Converter changes .dwg and .dxf files between file versions, with both a graphical interface and a command-line interface. It can process matching files from a source directory and save them to a target directory in the chosen output version and type. The input filter defaults to *.dwg;*.dxf but can be changed. Optional settings let users include subdirectories and apply an audit or repair operation as each file loads. The software is a free download, but non-members may use it only for non-commercial applications. ODA describes the converter as an example project demonstrating its SDKs and says it does not distribute the converter itself. Downloads are listed for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The listed Windows download supports Windows 10 or later on x64; Mac downloads require macOS 13.0 or later on Apple silicon or Intel. Linux packages are for x64 and require GLIBC 2.28 or higher, and an AppImage is available as a portable package.
