dxf-to-csv

dxf-to-csv is a tool to extract coordinates from CAD drawings.

AutoCAD offers the LIST command, which shows the geometry of selected objects, but this approach is not practical when dealing with a large number of objects.

Installation

pip install dxfgrabber

Then

git clone http://git.wrl.unsw.edu.au:3000/gis-cad/dxf-to-csv.git
cd dxf-to-csv
python setup.py install

Usage

Show available layers:

dxf_to_csv drawing.dxf -l

Convert all layers:

dxf_to_csv drawing.dxf

Convert specific layer:

dxf_to_csv drawing.dxf -n LAYER_NAME

Output

drawing.csv
