Export layer to shapefile format

[Anonymous]

Dear All,

Im using AutoCAD 2016. Anyone could advise me how to export selected layer in AutoCAD to shapefile format? 

Regards.

Hi,

AutoCAD does not support the GIS-dataformat "SHP", you'll need either AutoCAD Map 3D or AutoCAD Civil 3D (which includes most of the Map 3D functionality) or you need to use other products like e.g. QGIS (free >>>click<<<), where you can import a DXF and export a SHP from the DXF.

Good luck, - alfred -

Hello Alfred.

Thank you for the reply. I guest I have to look other work around to transfer these layers into my ESRI map.

Hi,

>> to transfer these layers into my ESRI map

Do you have ArcGIS? Then simply save your drawing as DXF2010 and import that DXF into ArcGIS.
