How to convert dwk to dwg file

DWK file is a placeholder for a locked DWG file opened in AutoCAD, which means there is probably is no way how you could ever  perform dwk to dwg conversion, considering the .dwk file is usually deleted when you close AutoCAD and does not contain any CAD data.

Simply put, it is impossible to convert DWK to DWG directly.
Thus, there is no so-called dwk to dwg converter or a free online .dwk to .dwg conversion tool.

Understanding DWK and DWG file formats

The DWK file format is not widely recognized and may refer to a proprietary or less common file type used in specific applications. On the other hand, the DWG file format is a well-known and widely used format for AutoCAD drawings. It contains vector image data and metadata that describe the contents of the file, making it a standard for CAD (Computer-Aided Design) applications.

Converting DWK to DWG

Converting a DWK file to a DWG file can be challenging due to the obscurity of the DWK format. However, if the DWK file is indeed a CAD-related file, you might be able to open it with specialized software and then save or export it as a DWG file.

Best software for DWK to DWG conversion

Since DWK is not a standard format, the best approach is to identify the software that originally created the DWK file. If the software supports exporting to DWG, you can use the File → Export → DWG option. If the original software is unknown, try using AutoCAD or Autodesk DWG TrueView to open the file, as they are capable of handling various CAD formats. If these do not work, consider using a file conversion service like Zamzar or Convertio, which support a wide range of file types.
