dxf to xyz

[Malguni]

Hello,

How can I convert .dxf to .xyz by dll?

With the cad2shape.dll I only get a conversion from .dxf to .shp. Then I read in one thread, that it is possible to convert .shp to .xyz with Arcv2Cad.dll. So I think, maybe I've to work with both dlls in two steps: First: dxf to shp. Second: shp to xyz. I try, but no success. Could you please help me?

Best Regards

Hi,

CAD2Shape directly supports .dxf to .xyz. However...

1. Please download the very latest update of the software.

CAD2Shape 4.0 A.16 (http://www.guthcad.com/download_cad2shape.htm)

It fixes a bug to do with XYZ translations via the DLL (the /SHP switch setting was being ignored.)


2. Consult the user manual topic:

--> Command Line Operation
--> Switches Reference
--> XYZ Output format


Note that for XYZ output, both the /XYZ and /SHP switches should be used.

/XYZ specifies the XYZ output format
/SHP specifies the type of data to translate

Example:

Create a raw X,Y,Z points output file:

/XYZ=RAW /SHP=PTZ c:\mycad\test.dwg c:\myxyz\test.csv
