DXF Export

Exporting GeoDin layouts as DXF for use in AutoCAD and other CAD tools

GeoDin's internal PDF printer can export layouts as DXF — useful when boreholes, cross-sections, or site-plan layouts need to land in AutoCAD or another CAD package as editable vector geometry rather than a flat raster image.

For PDF and bulk multi-borehole printing, see Bulk Print and PDF Export. For tabular Excel/CSV exports, see CSV Export and Excel Export.

When to use DXF

DXF preserves vector geometry. Use it when the downstream workflow needs to:

• Edit the layout in CAD (move, recolour, re-layer).

• Combine the borehole or cross-section with other CAD drawings.

• Drive a CAD-based deliverable workflow.

For static deliverables (reports, archives, email attachments) PDF is usually the better choice.

How it works

DXF export runs through GeoDin's internal PDF printer. The same printer drives PDF, PNG, and EMF output — the difference is the chosen output format. The vector path is preserved end-to-end, so line work, fill patterns, and text remain editable in the receiving CAD tool.
