About DWG
Map of Norway in DWG — an export of real OpenStreetMap data for the selected area.
DWG is the native AutoCAD format and the standard for architectural and construction design. An OpenStreetMap map drops into your drawing as a base layer: roads, buildings, water and vegetation arrive as separate layers you can design on top of. The file is built natively, through the Open Design Alliance converter, and the result is verified by file signature. If the converter is unavailable for any reason, the service does not fail or hand you a broken file — it honestly returns a DXF with the X-Actual-Format: dxf header; the same CAD applications open both formats.
Which layers are in the file
The set of layers depends on the selected area.
File size
The expected size of the DWG file for Norway is about 711 KB; the exact size depends on the chosen layers and area.
Coordinate systems
WGS 84 (EPSG:4326), selectable in the wizard
Units
Meters (projected in the chosen coordinate system)

How to use DWG for Norway
- 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).

Exporting to DWG works great. Unfortunately, the street name labels are always horizontal. If they were parallel to the road, the map would be more readable.07.2026
FAQ: DWG for Norway
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.
