  • Have you tried using QGIS? This question has info on turning the DWG into a DXF which QGIS can open: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/32730/how-to-import-a-dwg-into-a-qgis-project – GIS-Jonathan Feb 15 '16 at 10:35
  • Which software do you use? – Jens Feb 15 '16 at 10:39

    There are many ways to do this, none of which are perfect... However, FME is a good way to go if you have a license. Alternatively, use MAPEXPORT command in Civil3D/Map to export to shape (one feature type at a time). There are also, as others have mentioned, functions in both QGIS and ArcMap to deal with dwg files. – Martin Feb 15 '16 at 11:13

You could try Spatial Manager for AutoCAD: http://www.spatialmanager.com/spm-forautocad/

You can also download the trial versión from Autodesk Exchange: https://apps.autodesk.com/ACD/es/Detail/Index?id=appstore.exchange.autodesk.com%3aspatialmanagerforautocad_windows32and64%3aen
