ShareCAD can save the opened drawing as a raster PDF. To save as PDF, press the Print 
button then go to the Destination field: Change -> Save as PDF -> OK. For your convenience you can also save your drawing as PDF directly to the Google Disc: the Destination field -> Change -> Google Disc.
To rotate the drawing use the 3D Orbit 
button. Click the 3D Orbit button, then click the object/model, hold the left mouse button and rotate your drawing in the required direction.
Most likely, your drawing was displayed in a too small or large scale. So, please try zooming in/out the drawing by using the corresponding buttons. If it doesn’t help you, please, try opening this file in another browser or just reload the page.
You can add the drawing to your web-page with the help of our ShareCAD Iframe Plugin. You can find more detailed information about it here.
To get a link to the drawing you need to press the Share 
. Then the link will be generated automatically, and the drawing will be available online in any browser on any device.
ShareCAD supports saving as PDF only. If you need to save the drawing to another file format, you can use ABViewer, a universal software for working with CAD drawings.
Yes, you can download a free 45-day trial version of ABViewer, a multifunctional CAD viewer, here.
On the online service page, select the PDF you want to convert (note: the maximum possible file size is 3Mb), enter your email address and click Convert.
The converted file will be sent to your email address. If you don’t see it in your inbox, please check the spam folder. If you haven’t received an email within 30 minutes after the submission, please let us know about it at info@cadsofttools.com.
The online service converts PDF files to AutoCAD DWG 2004.
If the file size doesn’t exceed 3 Mb and you haven’t reached the limit yet (only 2 conversions per day are available), try using the online-converter in another browser. Also you can download a free trial version of ABViewer which has 7 free PDF to DWG conversions. Or, if you prefer to use the online service, clear cookies and cache and then try converting online again.
First of all, make sure that the PDF size doesn’t exceed 3 Mb. If it is under 3Mb, please try opening the online converter in another browser. In case it doesn’t help, please contact us at info@cadsofttools.com, describe the issue and attach the file you want to convert.
Unfortunately, some mail agents process email links incorrectly, that is why the download link might seem not working. Copy the link manually to your web browser. If the problem remains, please send us the original file and the email address you used for conversion at info@cadsofttools.com.
The online service enables to convert the first two pages. To convert a whole document please use ABViewer Enterprise.
Probably, it is display units that differ in PDF and DWG files. The conversion is carried out in millimeters with 1:1 scale. If the measurement units match, but the dimensions still differ, please download a free 45-day trial version of ABViewer and set the required scale with the help of the Relative scale tool. If you still have any problems, you can send us the original and converted files at info@cadsofttools.com. We will check them and figure out what’s wrong.
Usually, the conversion takes several seconds but sometimes due to the large number of entities in the original file or bad Internet connection there might be some delays. If you haven’t received your file within 15-30 minutes (and you have checked the spam folder), please contact us at info@cadsofttools.com and attach the original PDF.
There are two ways to define whether a PDF file is raster or vector:

Before saving a drawing to DWG/DXF you need to hide unnecessary objects of a 3D model. To hide unnecessary elements, open the Structure panel on the Viewer tab. Now you see the full list of file contents, where you should uncheck the unnecessary parts. When the selected items are hidden, go to File -> Save as -> and select required file format (DWG/DXF, etc.). After it, the visible part of the model will be saved to DWG/DXF.
