Spatial Database Export Autocad

| Consideration | Details | |----------------|---------| | | AutoCAD uses Cartesian (X,Y) coordinates. You may need to reproject from geographic (lat/lon) to a projected coordinate system (e.g., UTM, State Plane) via ST_Transform (PostGIS) or equivalent. | | Units | Ensure database units (e.g., meters, feet) match AutoCAD drawing units. | | Attribute mapping | Non-spatial columns (e.g., road names, land use codes) can become text labels, block attributes, or XDATA. | | Scale & simplification | Use ST_SimplifyPreserveTopology to reduce vertices for large exports without losing shape integrity. | | Layer strategy | Map attribute values (e.g., landuse = 'residential' ) to AutoCAD layer names. |

Choose your spatial database (e.g., PostGIS, SQL Server) or file format (Shapefile, KML, GeoJSON). spatial database export autocad

Choose whether to export specific layers, selected objects, or the entire drawing. | Consideration | Details | |----------------|---------| | |

Would you like a ready-to-use SQL query for PostGIS that returns DXF group codes, or a sample FME workspace for this exact workflow? | | Attribute mapping | Non-spatial columns (e
