RapidDXF LT

RapidDXF LT

RapidDXF LT is a stand-alone application that does not require AutoCAD.

 

RapidDXF LT reads text files (*.txt, *.csv, *.asc, etc.) than contain coordinates (and possibly other various data), and creates AutoCAD DXF files. The DXF files so created are usable in any CAD software.

 

Data files must be plain Text files. They can have any number of data fields (or columns), but only the Number/Label, X(East) coordinate, Y(North) coordinate, Z(Elevation), and Point Description fields are used.

 

 

 

RapidDXF LT is a simplified version of RapidDXF 4.0. It does not read XLS (Microsoft Excel) files, and has less options. If you need to process XLS files or need more settings, please see RapidDXF 4.0

 

DXF file content

DXF objects created in the DXF file are :

• a POINT object : a point is created at the X Y and Z coordinates. The point is always created, you can not choose not to create it.
• TEXT objects : these are text strings for Number/Label, X, Y, Z and Description data. You can choose whether you create these objects or not, and set their DXF properties.

In order to create a DXF file, you must configure the imported fields properties, as well as what will be created in the DXF file.

For each field used by RapidDXF LT (Number/Label, X, Y, Z and Description), you need to indicate if this field is present in the data file, at which column number it can be found and if it has a prefix. Then, if you choose to create this field (as a text object) you must indicate its DXF properties, Layer, Color, Text Size, and optionally a prefix to add.

The DXF files created by RapidDXF are compatible with most CAD software.
