With the data exchange format DXF, you can continue working on drawings that were not created with LINEAR or the CAD program in LINEAR and in the CAD program.

Suppose you always receive the dxf drawings from a certain architecture office with the organization of layers, colors, line types, etc. that is not suitable for your system. Then you have to make a number of manual adjustments in each drawing file, such as importing the dxf, regrouping or renaming layers, reassigning colors, reassigning line types or renaming text styles.

In case of large construction projects with many individual drawings, in which frequently changed floor plans also have to be re analysed during the planning phase, this represents an amount of work that should not be underestimated. The LINEAR DXF converter was developed exactly for this purpose. Thus, the LINEAR DXF converter provides you with a practical tool for automatically adapting multiple DXF files to color schemes, layer names, etc. that you have created by yourself.
