How to Convert ZWCAD to GeoJSON?
Our reliable 3-step process turns ZWCAD drawings to GeoJSON export into the simplest part of your workflow:
📥 Install Automapki Application
Download and install Automapki Application for AutoCAD, BricsCAD, GstarCAD, or ZWCAD - it adds the AmExportMap command needed to export GeoJSON maps directly from ZWCAD drawings. Restart your CAD software after installation to load the plugin.
▶️ Run GeoJSON Export Command
Open your ZWCAD editor, type AmExportMap in the command line, or click Export Map in the Automapki ribbon. Select the DWG entities you want to export and confirm the selection.
↪️ Export ZWCAD Entities to GeoJSON Format
In the save dialog, choose your output GeoJSON file (*.json, *.geojson) and click Save. Automapki converts the selected ZWCAD entities to GeoJSON format, preserving coordinate reference system data for accurate placement in GIS applications.

GeoJSON File Format - Features and Conversion
GeoJSON is a widely-used geospatial data interchange format that encodes geographic features using lightweight JSON syntax. Designed for simplicity, interoperability, and ease of use, GeoJSON provides a powerful way to represent geometric shapes, properties, and coordinate reference systems across various applications.
What is GeoJSON?
GeoJSON files describe points, line strings, polygons, and multi-geometries using a standardized WGS84 coordinate system. It supports rich attribute data, making it ideal for mapping applications, geospatial databases, and spatial analysis tools. As an open format based on JSON, it is human-readable, easily parsed, and supported by a wide range of software platforms.
Key Features of GeoJSON
- JSON-Based Structure: The GeoJSON format relies on JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), making files lightweight, readable, and easy to validate or manipulate across different programming environments.
- Support for Geometric Types: GeoJSON supports Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString, and MultiPolygon geometries, providing flexibility for complex geospatial representations.
- Standard Coordinate System: Features are based on the WGS84 reference system (latitude and longitude), ensuring compatibility with GPS data and mapping applications worldwide.
- No Styling Information: Unlike other geospatial file formats, GeoJSON focuses solely on geometry and properties, not appearance or style, leaving visualization aspects to the rendering software.
Convert and Work with GeoJSON Maps
Use Automapki Application to import, export, and convert GeoJSON files directly within CAD platforms like AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD. Automapki automatically manages coordinate system conversions and projects GeoJSON features onto georeferenced DWG drawings, ensuring perfect spatial accuracy. Easily integrate precise CAD designs with real-world geospatial data for comprehensive mapping and design workflows.
