# How to convert DXF to DWG in Civil3D

## ROCK Cloud delivers CAD files in DXF - which is an open source CAD product. It should open in any CAD software, but if also need DWG, here's how to get that!

Step 1: Order your deliverables in ROCK Cloud

Step 2: Export or download your deliverable as a DXF (CAD file)

Step 3: Open the DXF in AutoCAD- in this example we are using Civil3D 2023

![open dxf](https://learn.rockrobotic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/open%20dxf.png?width=688&height=423&name=open%20dxf.png)

Step 4: Go to the menu in the top left corner of the program, and choose "Save as" and select "Drawing"

![save drawing](https://learn.rockrobotic.com/hs-fs/hubfs/save%20drawing.png?width=688&height=697&name=save%20drawing.png)

Step 5: Save the file as a DWG, this is the default. You're all set!
