Convert GPX to DXF

GPX to DXF Conversion

Our importer was built specifically for easy GPX to DXF transfer in 3 simple steps:

  1. Download & Install:

    Import GPX maps directly into DXF drawings using Automapki Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD.

  2. Execute GPX Import:

    Open your DXF editor, type AmImportMap in the command line, or click the Import Map button in the ribbon bar.

  3. Import GPX Map:

    Select your GPX map file and click Open to import it into your DXF drawing.

GPX GPS Exchange File

An open, XML-based standard designed for storing and sharing geospatial activity data across devices and platforms. Originally developed for GPS devices, it has become the universal language for outdoor navigation, fitness tracking, geocaching and adventure travel.

Key Features of GPX

  • XML Format:

    The GPX format is based on XML, which is a standard and human-readable markup language. It can store GPS location data in a structured and consistent way. It can also be easily parsed and validated by various software applications.

  • Data Storage:

    The GPX format can store three types of GPS location data:
    • Waypoints
      - Points of interest with GPS coordinates, such as landmarks, destinations, or checkpoints.
    • Routes
      - Sequences of waypoints that provide directions for a planned journey.
    • Tracks
      - Records of your movement with a series of points that trace your path.

  • Interoperability:

    Works with Garmin, Strava, AllTrails, Google Earth, and most GIS apps.

GPX Files Conversion

Automapki Application for AutoCAD, Bricscad, and ZWCAD enables direct import and export of GPX files within your DWG editing environment. You can precisely integrate GPS location data with your CAD designs and visualize them in their real-world geographical context. This add-on automatically handles coordinate system conversion and accurately projects GPS data onto georeferenced DWG drawings while maintaining spatial precision.

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.
