Technical note

GXF to DXF: what to expect from the conversion

Geospatial coordinates are absolute positions on the earth, and they are large: a projected easting runs to six or seven digits, while latitude and longitude are small decimals. DXF expects a drawing laid out near its own origin in millimetres or inches. The geometry itself converts correctly, but it can land tens of kilometres from 0,0, or arrive at a scale where an entire county is forty units across. Zoom to extents first, then measure one known distance before dimensioning anything. A line in a GXF image is several pixels wide, so tracing it can mean different things and the mode is yours to choose. Centreline returns a single line running down the middle of each stroke, which is what a scanned drawing needs: one entity per line, snappable and dimensionable, rather than a long thin rectangle around it. Outline follows both edges and returns closed shapes, which suits clipart, logos and anything that will be filled or cut. A precision setting controls how closely the traced paths follow the pixel edges. One thing to plan for: vectorised output from this path is black and white, so colour in the GXF does not survive as colour in the DXF.

Map Data Workflow

From map data to a working drawing

Site plans, utility routes and parcel boundaries often start out as GXF and end up in DXF. reaConverter turns the layers into drawing entities in batch, so a full project folder moves across in one run.

  • Convert every layer in a folder to DXF with the same settings
  • Go the other way too, from DWG to Shapefile, when the GIS team needs the drawings back
  • Render the same data to PDF for a quick review copy
  • 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.

Someone gave me a disc with a single .dxf file that just wouldn't open. After struggling with it, I consulted some tech-savvy friends who recommended reaConverter. The conversion took about 20 seconds flat, and now I can easily view everything in PDF format!

I'm a hobbyist woodworker, and I use DXF patterns from the internet. reaConverter lets me convert them to JPEG for a quick preview before I cut. It's so simple – drag, drop, convert, and I can see exactly what I'll get. Great for avoiding mistakes.

FAQ

GXF to DXF Conversion

What are GXF files?

GXF (Grid eXchange File) is an open text format for exchanging gridded data between different programs. It was developed by Geosoft, a Canadian company that makes software for geophysics, and it became the standard way of passing gravity and magnetic survey maps between systems. Such a map is a net of equal cells, and each cell holds a measured value, for example the strength of the Earth's magnetic field. A GXF file stores these values as plain text, together with the information needed to place the grid on the ground, such as the spacing between points and the map projection. Because the file can be opened in any text editor and does not depend on the software that made it, it is also used to share elevation data and other kinds of surfaces.

What are DXF files?

DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a format associated with AutoCAD, a popular program used for computer-aided design by engineers, architects and other professionals in the field of building design and construction. The DXF format was developed in the early 1980s by Autodesk with the purpose of increasing the interoperability between AutoCAD and other CAD or advanced image design programs. It supports 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional drawings, and can be opened using a wide array of image processing programs.
