Create a dxf file via Python (AutoCAD)
<p>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.</p>
<p>Let’s get started! The table of contents is presented below:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Prerequisites</strong></li>
<li><strong>Input Data</strong></li>
<li><strong>Creating a greodataframe of Points</strong></li>
<li><strong>Creating a geodataframe of Lines</strong></li>
<li><strong>Create a .dxf file<br />
- layers’ creation<br />
- adding line segments<br />
-adding text</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong>1. Prerequisites</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Let’s load some Python packages.</p>
