CartoDXF
Export QGIS vector layers to a professional DXF, one DXF layer per category, with real colors, line widths and line types. / Exporta capas vectoriales de QGIS a un DXF profesional, una capa DXF por categoría, con colores, grosores y tipos de línea reales.
QGIS plugin to export loaded vector layers (points, lines, polygons) to a single
professional DXF file, ready to open in AutoCAD or any CAD software.
Main features:
- One DXF layer per category: choose a field per QGIS layer to split it into
several DXF layers automatically (e.g. one DXF layer per road type, per land use...).
- Independent label/text field: write any field value as DXF text next to each
feature, regardless of the field used for the DXF layer name.
- Exact colors (true color RGB) read from the QGIS symbology, plus an automatic
ACI fallback for older DXF viewers that don't support true color.
- Real line widths and line types (dashed, dotted, dash-dot...) taken from the
QGIS simple line symbology.
- Polygons exported with fill (hatch) and independent outline: solid fill or
a selectable pattern (diagonal lines, horizontal lines, grid, dots) with
adjustable scale; optional setting to make the outline match the fill
color, useful with "Categorized" renderers where only the fill color
varies.
- Points exported as DXF POINT entities, with an option to also insert a DXF
block (INSERT) approximating the QGIS marker shape (circle, square, triangle,
diamond, cross, X, star, pentagon, hexagon...).
- Optional export limited to the current canvas view, with geometries clipped
to that extent instead of exported whole.
- Text labels try to preserve their QGIS orientation (data-defined rotation,
or the line's own direction for road-name style labels) instead of always
being exported horizontal.
- Automatic reprojection to the QGIS project CRS.
- A faulty feature (invalid geometry, unusual category value...) is skipped
instead of aborting the whole export.
