Save, export and save to MyCloudSuites in Cloud CAD

Updated November 12, 2026

Your drawings open and save on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded unless you save a .dwg file (it’s converted on our server), use an AI tool, or save to MyCloudSuites.

Save on your computer

  • File › Save saves the drawing where it is. In the browser it’s Save to this device.
  • File › Save As… saves it as Cloud CAD’s own .ccad, as DWG for AutoCAD, or as DXF.
  • Under New drawings save as, choose Cloud CAD (.ccad) or DWG for AutoCAD for the drawings you start from now on.

.ccad and DXF save offline. A .dwg is converted on our server, so it needs the internet.

Export to print and share

From the File menu:

  • Export PDF…: pick a paper size and a scale, to print.
  • Export Sheet Set PDF…: every sheet as one PDF, with a bookmark for each.
  • Export PNG…: a picture, for email or documents.
  • Export SVG: a vector drawing for the web.
  • Export DXF, Export DXF R12 (for CAD apps from before 2000) and Export DWG (AutoCAD 2000 format), for other CAD programs.

Save to MyCloudSuites

With MyCloudSuites Plus, you can keep drawings in your MyCloudSuites files and open them on any device.

  1. Choose File › Save to MyCloudSuites…, give the drawing a name and pick a folder. It makes a new file there, and needs a connection.
  2. To open it again, on this computer or another one, choose File › Open from MyCloudSuites….

Once a drawing is open from MyCloudSuites, Save puts your changes back there. If it changed in MyCloudSuites since you opened it, Cloud CAD asks you to save yours as a copy, so nothing is lost.
