DXF to KML Conversion
Export DXF drawings to KML in no time - our tool simplifies it into three quick steps:
Install Automapki Application
Effortlessly export KML maps from DXF drawings with Automapki Application. Install the add-on and restart your CAD software to begin.
Execute KML Export
Open your DXF editor, then type AmExportMap in the command line or select Export Map item from the application menu.
Export DXF to KML
Choose your KML file (.kml), click Save, and convert the selected DXF entities into KML format.

Drawing Exchange File
A universal, open file standard developed by Autodesk to enable seamless cross-platform exchange of CAD data between AutoCAD and other design applications. As a vendor-neutral format, DXF preserves 2D/3D geometry, layers, text, and basic metadata, making it ideal for collaboration across different CAD, CAM, and GIS software.
DXF Key Features
- Origin: Developed by Autodesk in 1982 as the ASCII/Binary CAD data interchange format.
- Compatibility: Universal standard for 2D/3D CAD programs (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc.).
- ASCII Format: The DXF format is text-based and uses a standard syntax to store DWG drawing data. It can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.
- Exchange of DWG Drawing: The DXF format acts as a universal bridge for DWG data exchange between AutoCAD and third-party applications. This solution is especially valuable since Autodesk's proprietary DWG format requires licensed software for full access and editing capabilities.
DXF File Converters
Autoconverter and Automesher Application allow you to import and export DXF files, and convert them into various other file formats. You can use our products to convert 3D meshes into a set of DXF faces organized in colored layers. This allows you to further process and modify your models using your default DWG editor.
Keyhole Markup Language File
A file format developed by Keyhole, Inc. (later acquired by Google), that enables you to store and share geographical data with Google Earth, Google Earth Pro, and other geospatial software.
Key Features of KML
- XML Format: KML files use XML to store points, line strings, polygons, and Collada DAE models, which can be easily edited and customized.
- Interoperability: KML files can be viewed and manipulated by various applications and software, such as Google Earth, Google Maps, ArcGIS, QGIS, and more.
- Embedded Media: Users can embed images, videos, and links within KML placemarks and descriptions to enhance geographical presentations.
KML File Conversion
Our Automapki Application supports importing and exporting KML files and is fully compatible with AutoCAD, Bricscad, and ZWCAD. With this tool, you can seamlessly convert DWG entities - including points, polygons, curves, meshes, 3D solids, and raster images - to KML format, as well as transform KML data back into DWG entities.
