DXF in real time: From field measurement to CAD in minutes instead of hours

A measurement in the wrong format is often enough - and the detour via renaming, converting and checking begins until the CAD software accepts it.

With SitePlan This intermediate step is no longer necessary: all measurements are recorded digitally on the construction site and are immediately available in the office. With just a few clicks, the web app can be used to create a DXF export - testable, standardized and immediately usable in CAD. Result: dozens of hours saved.

The format jungle between construction site and CAD

In many civil engineering companies, the workflow still looks like this:

1. Measurement with GPS rover or measuring wheel
2. Export to manufacturer-specific format
3. Conversion to DXF via additional software
4. Import into CAD
5. Control & post-processing

Each of these steps is a potential source of error - and quickly adds up to several hours per project. This is simply unacceptable, especially with tight deadlines or last-minute changes.

The solution: Create DXF files directly on the construction site

With SitePlan eliminates the entire intermediate step marathon. All measurements are recorded digitally directly on the construction site - using your own smartphone or tablet, accurate to the centimeter with a GNSS antenna.

The data is immediately available in the cloud and can be used in the Webapp exported as DXF with just a few clicks standardized, testable and without additional software.

This is how it works:

1. Capture points and lines with the SitePlan app
2. Data is automatically synchronized to the SitePlan cloud
3. Select DXF export in the web app
4. The generated DXF file can be opened directly in the desired CAD program - without detours, without data loss

Your advantages at a glance

• Massive time saving: Up to 4 hours less effort per project
• Perfect compatibility: DXF files can be used with all common CAD programs, e.g. AutoCAD or BricsCAD - without an additional conversion step.
• Automatic layer structure: All layers assigned in SitePlan are transferred to the DXF - no manual post-processing necessary.
• No special knowledge required: Every site manager and foreman can create a DXF without a CAD course
• Full mobility: DXF export from the web app at any time - whether in the office, construction container or on the road

The DXFs are already in the office before the foreman has left the construction site

Friday lunchtime: The foreman records the final points with SitePlan.

In the past, this meant sitting in the office until late in the evening to prepare the data for CAD.

Today, all it takes is a click on "Export" → select DXF - and the planner or client has the file before the foreman even leaves the construction site.

Conclusion

The DXF export from SitePlan is more than just a function - it is a Productivity levers.
For site managers who want to save time. For foremen who deliver without detours.
And for companies that want to complete projects faster.

Try SitePlan 30 days free of charge - and experience how easy the path from the construction site to CAD can be.
