"Send" your DWG drawings! Next-generation migration to WebGIS made possible with GISBox

Free on-premise cesium ion alternative

Urban redevelopment, infrastructure development, industrial park planning — DWG format drawings are indispensable for such projects. In design work centered on AutoCAD, DWG files record detailed information on spatial design and structural arrangement.

However, conventional DWG drawings do not support display in a web environment, and there are many restrictions on sharing, viewing, and collaboration. That’s where GISBox’s image tile extraction function comes in.

Make DWG drawings “lightweight, smooth, and instant visualization” — GISBox revolutionizes the WebGISization of drawings.

Why convert DWG to image tiles with GISBox?

✅ Direct import of DWG files

No need for troublesome intermediate conversion or CAD software. Just drag and drop the DWG file and GISBox will automatically correct the coordinates and perform spatial projection.

✅ Generate XYZ tiles with one click

Output format is industry-standard XYZ tiles. It can be immediately integrated into any WebGIS platform, such as Cesium, Mapbox, Leaflet, and OpenLayers. DWG is transformed from “drawings” to “maps”.

✅ High resolution & accurate line drawing

High-precision rendering algorithm faithfully reproduces the line type, text, and layer style of the drawing. Ideal for urban planning exhibitions, bidding documents, and design reviews.

Actual use case: Old town redevelopment project
In one redevelopment project, the design team tiled DWG drawings with GISBox and integrated them into the urban development viewer. Residents, construction companies, and city officials can now view drawings and surrounding maps overlaid on their smartphones and PCs anytime, anywhere, greatly improving the transparency and communication of the project.

Why choose GISBox?
💡 No code required for map distribution: Publish to map services with zero development

🚀 Ultra-lightweight structure: Cut redundant data by more than 50%

🎯 Flexible settings: Freely set output scale and layers

🔁 Supports multiple format conversion: Freely convert from DWG to TIFF, PNG, and KTX2

Conclusion: DWG drawings to browsers, “show” drawings
The era of DWG drawings being confined to local PCs is over. The era of showing, sharing, and communicating on the web has arrived.

GISBox instantly converts your designs into interactive web maps. It’s the perfect solution for smart cities, urban redevelopment, and public comment materials.
