I want to render 3D graphics files of autodesk (.dwg and .dwf) using three.js but three.js requires 3D data to be in json format. So, I need to convert these files to three.js readable json format. I tried searching on the internet but couldn't find any solution. Can anyone tell me a good converter for these files?
Thanks in advance.

If you are looking for a way to convert a DWF or DWFx file to an AutoCAD DWG model, look at the suggestions of the online tool for CAD format conversions. For the conversion DWF --> DWG , this tool offers a combination of DWF import to Autodesk Navisworks, and using the FBX format to transfer the 3D data from Navisworks to AutoCAD.
There is a server side REST API that allow you to upload a CAD file and convert to a JSON stream. You can hook to it and get the output. Or, even easier, just use the JavaScript client side API to embed the viewer on your website/app
DWF/DWFx files are a "digital plot" file containing only low-intelligence entities. It is not intended for use as a drawing file exchange format and cannot be fully recovered or changed back to a standard drawing file. Create a new drawing in AutoCAD. Use the DWFATTACH command and attach the DWF/DWFx file.

In fact Autodesk already have a converter & wegbl viewer. Go to http://developer.autodesk.com and get a key for View & Data API. There is a server side REST API that allow you to upload a CAD file and convert to a JSON stream. You can hook to it and get the output.

Update
The API was renamed to Model Derivative + Viewer, the first translates the source file (e.g. DWG, RVT and many others) to a web-friendly format that can be viewed on the second, which is based on Three.js (and can be customized).
