RapidDXF
is a stand-alone application that does not require AutoCAD.
RapidDXF
4.0
is an application that allows to import topographic data
in your CAD system. It reads ASCII (text) or XLS
(Microsoft Excel) 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:
A
format indicates which data must be extracted from the coordinates
file. RapidDXF can process the following type of data :
Number or Label of the point, X (East)
Coordinate, Y (North) Coordinate, Z (Elevation)
Coordinate, Description of the point, Code
for polyline creation. The coordinates file must contain
at least the minimum required fields : X and Y coordinates.
It can also contain more than the 6 fields recognized by
RapidDXF in which case the data in these fields is not used.
The
DXF files created by RapidDXF are compatible with most CAD
software.
