Shapefile is a vector GIS format developed by Esri. It stores geographical information data. Shapefile have three geometries point, line and polygon. GIS data can be stored in different formats and the conversion of data from one format to other is also possible.
So in this post we convert Shapefile to DXF. Before conversion lets know what is DXF ?
What is DXF ?
DXF is a CAD (Computer Aided Design) fil format and it stands for Drawing Interchange Format or Drawing Exchange Format. DXF files make it possible to share drawing data and text-based formats across different CAD applications. DXF files are supported in several 3D applications and are completely open-source, so users can access AutoCAD files without using Autodesk programmes.
