Hello Everyone, [Chi Mai truss bridge.skp](https://forums.sketchup.com/uploads/short-url/h54MkV0rRODZxQzIbRORTcalc4U.skp) (155.1 KB) I need a file converted to dwg . I understand you have to have pro now to convert these files. Can anyone direct me to somehow find another way. I think it would be kind of crazy to pay $200 to convert one file. Thanks ---

Your profile says you are using SketchUp desktop 2024 and 2025. Go to File\>Export 3d Model and select the format you want. Unless your profile is wrong… ---

Glad to help. Remember if you have access to AutoCAD there is an AutoDesk Plugin to import SU files directly into AutoCAD. It works pretty good. ![Screenshot_5](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/sketchup/original/3X/2/5/25259ad3e92743ab96d929f7ccaa878dbd966639.jpeg) ---

Sure can but for future reference there is a free AutoCAD add-on that can open/convert Su file within AutoCAD. > **[SketchUp Import 2016-2027 | AutoCAD | Autodesk App Store](https://apps.autodesk.com/ACD/en/Detail/Index?id=5947739119625287617&appLang=en&os=Win32_64)** > > The SketchUp Import plug-in adds a command to the ribbon allowing you to import SKP files into Autodesk® AutoCAD® from local or shared folders. Also pCon Planner is a great conversion tool 😉 Your CAD file is too big to upload. I’ll PM you a link ---

The model file you shared shows it was saved in SketchUp 2024 so you can make the .dwg file yourself. Your forum profile is confused. It says you are using SketchUp for Schools (a browser based version for children) and SketchUp 2020 which is an old desktop version. Which one are you really using? ---

Lo que pasa es que me pasaron el archivo skp y lo necesito en dwg ya que suelo utilizar autocad e inventor… y no tengo el sketchup por el momento. ---

Hay plugins para Autocad para importar modelos de sketchup.
