| Seamless integration in ArcGIS/ArcMap |
| Adds a DXF export filter easily accessible through the ArcMap export dialog |
| Creates well-formatted DXF files, which can be opened or imported in most CAD, GIS and drawing packages |
|
| Single maps or complete layouts can be exported to AutoCAD DXF, including the following ArcMap elements |
| Legends |
| North arrows |
| Scale bars |
| Grids and graticules |
| Many more... |
|
| Supported AutoCAD DXF versions |
| R12 |
| R14 |
| 2000 |
|
| All native ArcMap geo data types are supported |
| Points |
| Lines |
| Polygons |
| Text/Labels/Annotation |
|
| Multiple user selectable options for the output coordinates are provided |
| Paper coordinates - millimeters or inches |
| Map coordinates - the native coordinate system of one of the maps is used and all other elements are translated to the coordinates of the map specified |
| SmartExporter correctly handles coordinate transformations and rotated maps in both Map and Layout export modes in both Paper and Map coordinates with no precision loss |
|
| Complete support for AutoCAD layers |
| The data layers in ArcMap are exported in separate AutoCAD layers |
| The map/layout elements (like grids, scale bars, etc.) are exported in intuitively named AutoCAD layers and can be easily switched on or off |
|
| Intelligent and fully configurable ArcMap to AutoCAD symbology mapping |
| Points exported as AutoCAD points (like pixels - no size or shape), as AutoCAD solids (triangles, rectangles, diamonds), as AutoCAD circles, or the ArcMap point symbology is converted to AutCAD Polygons preserving the ArcMap look |
| Lines can be exported with or without the width information |
| Polygons can be exported with or without fills, with or without outlines, as closed polylines, etc. |
| Labels can be exported to a single layer using ArcMap's default labeling or split by layer name using SmartExporter's labeling logic |
|
| Known limitations |
| Raster layers and raster layout elements (images) are not supported (inherited DXF limitation) |
| Custom layers not using the ArcMap drawing functions are not supported |
| Baseline and full text alignment not fully supported |
| ArcMap formatted text exported as plain text |
| One font used for all texts |
| Certain functionality not available when exporting to version R12 (i.e. filled polygons, multi-line annotation, long text elements are truncated, etc.) |
