How to convert txt to dxf file

Everything points to the fact that txt to dxf conversion is certainly possible, but only if the .txt file in question contains vector data in so called list of points files. Such files contain data that are typically saved in two columns that represent vector data. In most cases unique extension is used instead txt, but in essence these files are readable in any text editor. You will have to use some kind of special translation software, or a CAD/3D modeling software that can process such files in order to generate the common 2D DXF CAD files.

Understanding TXT and DXF file formats

TXT is a simple text file format that contains unformatted text. It is widely used for storing plain text data and is compatible with almost all text editing software. DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a CAD data file format developed by Autodesk. It is used for enabling data interoperability between AutoCAD and other programs, allowing for the exchange of drawing information.

How to convert TXT to DXF

Converting a TXT file to a DXF file involves transforming plain text data into a format that can be interpreted as a drawing. This process is often necessary when you have coordinate data or other drawing-related information in a text file that you need to visualize or edit in a CAD program.

Best software for TXT to DXF conversion

One of the best tools for converting TXT to DXF is AutoCAD. AutoCAD allows you to import text data and convert it into a drawing format. Here’s how you can do it:

  • Open AutoCAD.
  • Use the File → Import option to import your TXT file.
  • Map the text data to the appropriate drawing elements.
  • Once the data is mapped, use File → Export → DXF to save your drawing as a DXF file.

Another option is to use online converters like AnyConv or Zamzar, which can handle simple TXT to DXF conversions without the need for complex software.
