Most engineering firms use AutoCAD, therefore it would be great to automate some work which includes drafting. Wouldn’t it be cool to create a .dxf via Python and save precious time? This is what we are going to learn today.
Let’s get started! The table of contents is presented below:
- Prerequisites
- Input Data
- Creating a greodataframe of Points
- Creating a geodataframe of Lines
- Create a .dxf file
- layers’ creation
- adding line segments
-adding text
1. Prerequisites
This tutorial is basic; therefore, you will be able to go through it without being a master in Python. Knowledge of pandas, geopandas, shapely, ezdxf would be advantageous. ezdxf is a library used to create dxf and is not as popular as it should be.
Let’s load some Python packages.
