GeoJSON → DXF (AutoCAD) Converter
Upload your GeoJSON; transform coordinates to meter systems (UTM etc.), map attributes to CAD layers, and download an AutoCAD compatible DXF.
GeoJSON coordinates are WGS84 degrees; CAD drawings expect meters. Pick a projected system (e.g. a UTM zone) to produce a DXF with real meter coordinates, measurable in AutoCAD.
For an EPSG code not in the list, copy its definition from epsg.io.
If you pick an attribute, features are written to separate DXF layers by its value; otherwise they are layered by geometry type (POINTS / LINES / POLYGONS).
The entire conversion runs in your browser — your data is never uploaded to any server. Need DWG? Open the DXF in AutoCAD and SAVEAS to DWG (see FAQ).

Bring Map Data into CAD
This tool bridges GeoJSON — the standard of the GIS world — and DXF, the standard of CAD. Convert parcel boundaries, routes and point inventories into layered DXF files that open in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, LibreCAD and all compatible software.
- Meter Coordinates: Transforms WGS84 degrees into projected meter systems (UTM etc.)
- Attribute Layers: Features are written to separate CAD layers by a chosen field
- All Geometries: Point, LineString, Polygon and their Multi variants are supported
- AutoCAD 2000+ Compatible: Output is DXF R2000 (AC1015)
How to Get a DWG?
DWG is Autodesk's closed proprietary format, and reliable in-browser DWG generation is not possible. The safest route: produce a DXF with this tool, open it in AutoCAD (DXF opens natively) and save it as DWG with the SAVEAS command. Without AutoCAD, the free ODA File Converter from the Open Design Alliance batch-converts DXF to DWG.
Other Tools
Verify your output in the DXF Viewer before use. For the reverse direction, bring your DWG into GIS with the DWG → DXF tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert the DXF file to DWG?
DXF is an open format that AutoCAD opens natively. To get a DWG, open the DXF in AutoCAD and use the SAVEAS command to save it as DWG. If you don't have AutoCAD, the free ODA File Converter from the Open Design Alliance batch-converts DXF to DWG. Reliable in-browser DWG generation is not possible because DWG is a closed proprietary format, so this two-step route is the safest.
Why should coordinates be transformed to a meter system?
The GeoJSON standard stores coordinates as WGS84 latitude/longitude in degrees, while CAD drawings work in meters. A drawing in degrees appears tiny and unmeasurable in AutoCAD. This tool transforms coordinates into projected systems such as UTM zones so the DXF is produced with real meter coordinates and is measurable in CAD.
How are layers created?
By default, entities are written to POINTS, LINES and POLYGONS layers based on geometry type. Optionally you can pick an attribute field; each feature is then written to a layer named after its value in that field. Invalid DXF characters in layer names are sanitized automatically.
