How to use DWG for Kitui County

AutoCAD / AutoCAD LT — File → Open works directly; the file is release 2018 by default, so for an older program pick your release at export.
BricsCAD, NanoCAD, ZWCAD, DraftSight — open DWG natively in any of the releases, no conversion needed; most of them have free or trial versions.
To view and measure for free — Autodesk DWG TrueView (viewing, printing, measuring; no editing) or the online Autodesk Viewer.

How to open the drawing: units are metres (projected coordinates, not degrees). If the screen is empty after opening, the file is not empty: use Zoom Extents (show all; in AutoCAD, the ZOOM → E command or a double click of the mouse wheel).

FAQ: DWG for Kitui County

Can I open the DWG in AutoCAD LT?

Yes. By default the file is written as version 2018 and opens in AutoCAD LT 2018 and later. For an older LT, pick your version at export — every release back to 2000 is available.

What DWG version is exported?

AutoCAD 2018 (AC1032) by default — read by every modern CAD application. The version is selectable: AutoCAD 2000 (AC1015), 2004 (AC1018), 2007 (AC1021), 2010 (AC1024), 2013 (AC1027) and 2018. Pick an older one if your software refuses to open the file or reports “Unknown Value”.

Are layers preserved in DWG?

Yes, the map is split into layers: roads, buildings, water, vegetation, POI, admin boundaries.

Can I convert DWG to DXF?

Yes, any CAD editor can save DWG as DXF. We also export to DXF directly.

How do I use an OSM map as an underlay in AutoCAD?

Export the area to DWG, then attach it in AutoCAD as an external reference (XREF) or a plain insert — the map sits as an underlay beneath your project. A raster underlay (PNG or GeoTIFF) works too.
