Extract text from CWF files
To convert your CWF file to another format, you need CADWe'll or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "MEP Design File" file type, you need software like CADWe'll or a similar tool.
The .CWF extension typically represents a CADWe'll drawing file, a format developed by Daikin (specifically their COMTEC division) for electrical and construction design. These files are standard in Japanese MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) workflows but are notoriously difficult to handle outside of the CADWe'll Tfas or CAPE ecosystems. Internally, they often use a RIFF (Resource Interchange File Format) container, but the data chunks are proprietary. This creates a significant issue: you cannot simply open a .CWF file in AutoCAD or Adobe Acrobat.
To collaborate with architects using standard tools, you typically need to convert these files to DXF or DWG for editing, or PDF for archival and client review.
Note: A smaller subset of .CWF files are CorelDRAW Workspace Files. These contain user interface settings (toolbars, shortcuts) for CorelDRAW and do not contain actual vector graphics. If your file is a few kilobytes, it is likely a settings file and cannot be converted to an image.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CWF file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SWF, ZWS, VSW and TSW files.
If you want to convert CWF file to TXT, RTF, DOC, DOCX, ODT, PAGES, TEX, LATEX, MD, MARKDOWN, LOG or NFO, you can use CADWe'll or similar software from the "Electrical Construction Design" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert PDF, DOC, ASC, TODO, NFO, MEMO, README, DOCX, JPG, TXT, NOTE or RTF files to CWF, try CADWe'll or another comparable tool in the "Electrical Construction Design" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CWF converter.
