How to georeference the AutoCAD DWG drawing in QGIS?
DWG file drawing georeferenced in QGIS. Today I would like to demonstrate how to georeference the AutoCad .dwg file in QGIS.

This is the biggest advantage of drawing file over the another AutoCad extension – the .dxf.
Is it better to save DWGS into DXF?
In my expirience its better to save DWG into DXF, then you can just “drag & drop” it into QGIS, also most of the styling is preserved. I use ODA File Converter to batch convert DWGs to DXFs, these can then be added to QGIS.
Why are my shapefiles not working in QGIS?
