Cad2Shape is a Windows program that transforms DXF and DWG files into ESRI Shapefile formats for use in GIS and mapping software.
Precision
There is an advanced conversion engine that turns DWG and DXF files into standard SHP format compatible with ArcView and other GIS tools. The app preserves geometric data such as points, lines, arcs and polygons with high fidelity. Users can assign separate output files based on layer, color or block for better organization.
Extraction and control
It is possible to to extract data from block attributes, text or layer names and assign them as fields in the shapefile’s DBF attribute table. The converter supports multi-attribute objects and customizable field mapping for improved semantic control. In other words, you can make sure non-geometric CAD is preserved and usable in GIS analysis.
Moreover, the utility supports input and output coordinate system definitions, you can apply transformation parameters during the conversion process. This ensures that the resulting shapefiles align correctly with existing GIS data layers. Besides, you are able to import and process multiple files simultaneously, saving time and effort. As for editing and modifying your maps, you may try QGIS Girona.
