Convert DXF to GeoJSON

DXF to GeoJSON Conversion

Make exporting DXF drawings to GeoJSON painless - just three easy steps to success:

  1. Download & Install:

    Export GeoJSON maps directly from DXF drawings using Automapki Application - just install the add-on and restart your CAD.
  2. Execute GeoJSON Export:

    Launch your DXF editor, then either enter AmExportMap in the command line or click Export Map in the application menu.
  3. Export DXF to GeoJSON:

    Specify the destination GeoJSON file and click Save to convert the selected DXF entities to GeoJSON format.

DXF Drawing Exchange File

A universal, open file standard developed by Autodesk to enable seamless cross-platform exchange of CAD data between AutoCAD and other design applications. As a vendor-neutral format, DXF preserves 2D/3D geometry, layers, text, and basic metadata, making it ideal for collaboration across different CAD, CAM, and GIS software.

DXF Key Features

  • Origin:

    Developed by Autodesk in 1982 as the ASCII/Binary CAD data interchange format.
  • Compatibility:

    Universal standard for 2D/3D CAD programs (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc.).
  • ASCII Format:

    The DXF format is text-based and uses a standard syntax to store DWG drawing data. It can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.
  • Exchange of DWG Drawing:

    The DXF format acts as a universal bridge for DWG data exchange between AutoCAD and third-party applications. This solution is especially valuable since Autodesk's proprietary DWG format requires licensed software for full access and editing capabilities.

DXF File Converters

Autoconverter and Automesher Application allow you to import and export DXF files, and convert them into various other file formats. You can use our products to convert 3D meshes into a set of DXF faces organized in colored layers. This allows you to further process and modify your models using your default DWG editor.


JSON GeoJSON Features File

A geospatial data interchange file format that encodes geographic features using lightweight JSON syntax. Designed for both simplicity and interoperability, it provides a versatile way to represent geometric primitives along with rich attribute data and spatial reference systems.

Key Features of GeoJSON

  • JSON Syntax:

    The GeoJSON format uses JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), which is a lightweight and human-readable data format. It can store collections of geographic features and their custom properties in a structured and consistent way. It can also be easily parsed and validated by various software applications.
  • Geographic Features:

    The GeoJSON format can store point, line string, polygon, and multi-geometry representations of geospatial data. These are defined in the WGS84 spatial reference system, which is the standard coordinate system for global positioning. Each feature has a geometry and a set of attributes that describe its properties, such as name, type, area, population, etc.
  • Limitation on Appearance:

    Unlike other map file formats, GeoJSON does not provide a means to define the appearance or style of geographic features. This is an important consideration when planning your geospatial data visualization.

GeoJSON Map Converter

Automapki Application seamlessly integrates geospatial data with your CAD workflow, enabling direct GeoJSON import/export/convert within AutoCAD, Bricscad, and ZWCAD environments. This powerful add-on lets you combine precise CAD designs with real-world geospatial information, visualizing your projects in their actual geographic context. The application automatically handles coordinate system conversions and accurately projects GeoJSON features onto georeferenced DWG drawings, ensuring perfect spatial alignment.
