SHP to DXF Converter Online Guide

Convert zipped Shapefile layers to DXF CAD drawings. Select the source and output CRS, review geometry, and export CAD-ready files.

What is Shapefile ZIP?

Shapefile is a GIS vector format for points, lines and polygons with associated DBF attributes and optional PRJ CRS metadata.

What is DXF?

DXF is a CAD exchange format for drawing geometry used by AutoCAD-compatible engineering workflows.

When to use this converter

Use this converter when GIS layers such as parcels, corridors, utilities or control data need to be used in CAD.

Supported geometry

The output focuses on point, line and polygon geometry that can be represented cleanly in DXF.

Coordinate systems

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.

Workflow

  1. Open the CRS selector and choose the source CRS.
  2. Import the Shapefile ZIP file using the page import button.
  3. Inspect features on the map and check the attribute preview.
  4. Choose the DXF export option and download the deliverable.

Common mistakes

FAQ

Can I use SHP to DXF for engineering drawings?

Yes, when the source CRS is known and the target CRS matches the drawing environment.

Will attributes become CAD text?

Attributes are preserved where supported by the export workflow, but CAD representation is simpler than GIS tables.

Why choose DXF instead of DWG?

DXF is an open exchange format that can be generated in-browser without a proprietary DWG engine.
