AutoCAD to OFF - Quick and Precise AutoCAD Conversion

Convert AutoCAD to OFF

AutoCAD to OFF Conversion

Exporting AutoCAD drawings to OFF is easier than ever - just follow our simple 3-step process:

  1. Download & Install:

    Export OFF files directly from AutoCAD drawings using Automesher Application - simply install the plugin and restart your CAD session.

  2. Execute OFF Export:

    Launch the export process by typing AmExportMesh in the command line. Then, select the desired 3D entities (Polyface Mesh, Polygon Mesh, 3D Solid, 3D Face, or other 3D drawing entities) from your AutoCAD model space.

  3. Save as OFF File:

    In the save dialog, set the file type to OFF (*.off), choose your save location, enter a filename, and click Save to complete the export.

DWG AutoCAD Drawing

Autodesk's AutoCAD is a leading software program in the field of Computer Aided Design (CAD). It is renowned for its support of the native DWG drawing format. Widely used by architects, engineers, and designers, AutoCAD enables precise 2D drafting and 3D modeling. Its powerful tools streamline the creation of technical drawings, floor plans, and construction documentation.

Key Features of AutoCAD

  • 2D Drafting & 3D Modeling:

    Create precise technical drawings and realistic 3D models with a comprehensive set of tools.

  • Customization & Automation:

    Use AutoLISP, scripts, and ObjectARX (AutoCAD’s advanced API) to build custom applications and automate workflows.

  • Native DWG Support:

    Work seamlessly with AutoCAD’s proprietary DWG format, ensuring optimal performance, compatibility, and data integrity.

  • Dynamic Blocks:

    Create intelligent, reusable blocks with adjustable properties.

AutoCAD Drawing Conversion

Automesher Application and Automapki Application are powerful AutoCAD add-ons designed to enhance your design workflow with advanced 3D and GIS capabilities. These applications enable seamless integration of external 3D models and geospatial data directly into your AutoCAD projects. With support for popular 3D formats like STL, SKP, and OBJ, as well as GIS standards including SHP and KML, these tools allow you to incorporate real-world geospatial information and complex 3D models into your CAD environment. Don't limit your AutoCAD designs - expand your possibilities with our Automesher & Automapki applications!

OFF Object File Format

A straightforward, human-readable file format designed for representing 3D polygonal models. As a lightweight alternative to complex CAD formats, OFF focuses on storing essential geometric data - vertices, edges, and faces - without proprietary constraints.

Key Features of OFF

  • ASCII Text Files:

    : OFF files are text-based and use a simple syntax to store geometric data of 3D objects. The files can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.

  • Polygonal Shapes:

    The OFF format allows to store 3D triangles, quads, and other generic polygonal shapes. Each shape is defined by a list of vertices and a list of faces.

  • Limitations:

    OFF files support only geometric data - materials, textures, and group names from source files are discarded during conversion.

OFF File Conversion

Our software offers two specialized approaches for OFF file conversion. Autoconverter handles conversion of OFF files to common mesh formats including STL, SKP, OBJ, and PLY, maintaining the original polygonal structure. Autoshaper provides advanced conversion of OFF polygonal data into smooth NURBS surfaces, exporting to BREP, STEP, and IGES formats for CAD workflows.
