Technical note

DWFX to SHP: what to expect from the conversion

A DWFX drawing measures from an arbitrary origin and carries no coordinate reference system, so the SHP output arrives with correct geometry and no place on the earth. Defining the projection and georeferencing the result against known control points is a step that happens in the GIS afterwards. The conversion cannot infer it, because the information was never in the drawing. A shapefile is not a single file. It is a set: .shp for the geometry, .shx for the index, .dbf for the attribute table and .prj for the projection, and every piece has to travel with the others or the layer will not open. Two limits also apply on the way in. Attribute field names are truncated to ten characters, and one shapefile holds one geometry type, so mixed points, lines and polygons are written out separately.

Map Data Workflow

From drawing to GIS layer

Drawings tend to live in CAD and the map in GIS. reaConverter connects the two by converting DWFX to SHP offline, a folder at a time.

  • Convert a whole drawing archive to SHP in one pass
  • Produce Shapefile, GeoJSON or KML from the same drawings for different recipients
  • Apply identical settings to every drawing in the batch
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

I previously used another program to convert DWFX to DXF, but after a friend recommended reaConverter, I tried it — and it's now the most efficient conversion tool I've ever used.

After replacing five specialty converters with reaConverter, I've yet to find a format combination it can't handle - whether architectural .dwfx, client .pdfs, or legacy file types. A rare example of software that's both comprehensive and user-friendly.

FAQ

DWFX to SHP Conversion

What are DWFX files?

DWFX is an upgraded variant of Autodesk's DWF (Design Web Format) format, which provides convenient viewing and printing options for complex architectural or engineering design projects. DWFX is described by its creators as "the future format of DWF" and it is based on the XPS specification. This includes the XML markup as language for defining how each page looks like, offering improved archiving, processing and printing features. DWFX files are best suited for distribution via Windows and can be accessed with the XPS Viewer (in 2D format) and Autodesks's Design Review.

What are SHP files?

The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
