RapidDXF
3.1
is an application that allows to import topographic data
in your CAD system. It reads ASCII (text) files of
coordinates and creates DXF (version 12) files. The
DXF
files so created are usable in any CAD software.
Coordinates
files can be GPS files, XYZ files, generaly
files with the following format:
Number,
X (East), Y (North), Z (Elevation),
Description. Moreover, a special Code field
can be processed for polyline creation.
The DXF entities
created in the DXF file are :
- POINT
entity : a point is created at the X Y and Z coordinates.
It can be 2D or 3D.
- TEXT
entity : these are text strings for Number, X, Y,
Z and Description datas.
- POLYLINE
entity : a multiple segments line joining specified
points.
For
each of these entities, you can choose a layer and
a color.
On
the left, examples of coordinates file converted to DXF:
You can create an unlimited number of File Formats using
the Format Editor. A format can contain up to 6 fields of
datas: Number or Label of the point, X
(East) Coordinate, Y (North) Coordinate, Z
(Elevation) Coordinate, Description of the point,
Code for polyline creation. The minimum required
fields are the X and Y coordinates. If there are more than
6 fields, the data after 6th field won't be processed.
The
DXF files created by RapidDXF are compatible with most CAD
software.
