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 |
Texts, fonts, curved labels, alignment/bold/italic, etc. |
Many more... |
|
Supported AutoCAD DXF versions |
2000 |
2010 |
2013 |
|
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 |
Custom layers not using the ArcMap drawing functions are not supported |
Line symbology partially supported |
Polygon symbology limited to color |
ArcMap formatted text (with tags) parially supported |
Dynamic grids and graticules (when not presented as map features) might be plotted by ArcMap and exported to DXF and other formats with a slight half-pixel offset due to rounding. |
Exactly converting all features and their symbology is not possible. Please download the free version and experiment with your data before purchasing. |
