Are 3D DXF files supported?
2D DXF files are fully supported. 3D DXF elements are projected to a 2D top-down view for PDF conversion.
Is drawing detail and precision preserved?
Yes. Lines, arcs, splines, text, dimensions, and blocks from the DXF are faithfully rendered in the PDF output.
Can I print the PDF to scale?
Yes. The PDF preserves the DXF coordinate system. Select 'Actual size' in your PDF viewer to print at the intended scale.
Is the conversion done in the browser?
