PLS.
Where can I find dwg/dxf files of plans, free or pay?

Very interesting!!!! GrazieIgor Kapinos from Ukraine creates 3D figures for ships for sale. Here is his website:

Allan ciao,Ciao Morghy
What are the subjects of the drawing(s) you want to find in DWG? I was assuming ships, but you may be thinking of something else altogether.

Allan wow...Ciao ancora
This is getting complicated. There are over 100 frames on most full size ships and about 7 to 9 pieces for each frame. This is a lot of drawings. The false keel is usually made of up four or five pieces so easy enough. Are you look for what is shown below? If so, which ship(s)? Just to be sure, when you say false keels, are you speaking of of the strip on the bottom of the keel? I am guessing you may be looking for something else and it might be a matter of translation and/or terminology.Note in the below the false keel can be see on the bottom of the keel from the side and the lowest sketch is the false keel from the top showing the four scarphs which go in a particular direction.

I use Autocad and Photoshop and for better or worse I can do something...As an alternative, in case you are not able to find what you are looking for, you may attempt to re-draw/trace the images you find online in a vector program (Inkscape is a free one, for instance) and export these as either DWG or DXF. The tool learning curve for such use cases is doable, I think for most of us.
Do you need these for laser cutting? Some control programs are taking bitmap images, if I recall things correctly but you might need to clean these up a bit before cutting.
Ciao macika,If you can correct the perspective - although, the images seem to have very low distortion - you should be able to trace them in Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator. From here, having the vector files, you can resize / reposition cutouts as you wish and also resize the whole thing to the scale of your liking.
I don't think any free CAD software can do collision simulation for the parts to really check if the cutout sizes on the keel and ribs are right but this would probably be overkill anyway.
Still learning how to interpret ship drawings myself but, the image you posted could be used for redoing the ribs from scratch but then again you'll need a side view for the keel and the cutout positions.
I'll follow your endeavour with much interest!
