How to convert from a DXF file to a point list file (CSV, CR5 etc.)

It is really very easy, the diagram below shows an overview:

Drag your .DXF file into the main window, choose the entity types (circles, lines etc.), view the point list graphically and then save the point list as a CSV,TXT,PRN or CR5 file.

When choosing entities you have this choice:

So you can have any combination of.

• Points
• Lines (the end points of the lines)
• Polylines (the vertices are the positions of the points)
• Circles (the center of the circle is the position of the points)
• Texts (the insertion point is the position of the points)
• 3DFaces (the end points of the edges)
• Inserts (the insert position)
• Arcs (several points around an arc)

The same program can read a point list and convert it to a DXF file.
