What is DXF?
DXF is a CAD exchange format commonly used for survey linework, parcel boundaries, site plans and engineering drawings.
GeoCAD Bridge
Convert DXF CAD drawings to zipped Shapefile layers for GIS software. Select the source CRS, inspect features on a map, then export GIS-ready Shapefile ZIP files.
DXF is a CAD exchange format commonly used for survey linework, parcel boundaries, site plans and engineering drawings.
Shapefile is a GIS vector format for points, lines and polygons with associated DBF attributes and optional PRJ CRS metadata.
Use this converter when CAD linework such as parcels, utilities or site features needs to be brought into GIS software for analysis, mapping or data management.
Supported outputs are point, line and polygon shapefile features created from DXF point, polyline and polygon-style entities.
Select the source coordinate reference system before import. Google Earth KML/KMZ deliverables use WGS84 geographic coordinates, while DXF and survey files often use projected metre-based systems such as UTM or a national CRS.
Yes. Select both the DXF source CRS and the Shapefile output CRS so coordinates land correctly in GIS software.
Yes, features are grouped by geometry type and CAD layer, since a single shapefile can only hold one geometry type.
Shapefile DBF fields have length and naming limits, so some CAD text or block data may be shortened.
