DWG file format specification: https://www.opendesign.com/files/guestdownloads/OpenDesign_Specification_for_.dwg_files.pdf

This is still a huge need for me -> I have hundreds of .dwg files generated by pcon that i would love to get into other formats for rendering in game engines and online

Yes supporting dwg in Mayo would be great. In the recent past I took some time to look at libredwg library. It's a very difficult library to use, there's not that much documentation and examples of projects based on it. In the meanwhile you can convert dwg files to dxf with dwg2dxf from libredwg. Is it relevant for you?

At the moment I can do this manually by opening and converting using a cad application and exporting, it's just that it's windows only, and a bit labour intensive

Libredwg can get me part of the way, but stringing together existing tooling is a bit of a pain, ideally a single cross platform app to do this would be ideal 👍
