Export Maps to DXF for CAD Software

DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is the universal format for CAD data exchange. ArchiKEK exports professional DXF files with organized layers ready for your workflow.

DXF Export Features

Organized layers include 15+ pre-organized layers with AutoCAD-standard naming conventions. Real-world scale means 1:1 scale in meters with accurate dimensions. Building data supports 2.5D extrusion capability with height information from OSM.

Understanding the Layer Structure

Building layers are organized by category including residential, commercial, and public. Road layers separate by type from highways to residential streets. Environment layers cover water bodies, parks, and topographic contours.

The Export Process

Create your map by selecting location and options. Select DXF from the format dropdown. Click Generate to process. Download the file when ready.

Working with DXF in AutoCAD

Open the DXF file directly in AutoCAD. Layers appear in the layer manager. Scale is already set to meters. Begin adding your design on new layers.
