Save DWG

PARAMETER SAVEDWG
Purpose This parameter forces the converter to save the intermediate file created after the source file has been read. So, for instance, it would be a DWG version of a DGN file. The output dwg file name will be the normal output file name with the suffix “.dwg” appended. So, “test.dwg” converted to PDF would result in an intermediate file being created as “test.pdf.dwg”.
Example -SAVEDWG
Alias None
