How to Convert PDF to DXF Open your PDF file (scanned or native) in Able2Extract Professional. In the side panel, go to the AutoCAD section and in the Format option, select Drawing Exchange Format (DXF) from the dropdown menu. Select the content you want to convert. Click on the AutoCAD button in the Convert toolbar. Set the units to match the units of the original DXF. Alternatively, use the Tape Measure tool to measure the distance between 2 points (not two edges) and type the distance it should be. Hit Enter.

If you are uploading a 2D file (DXF, SVG, or AI) for cutting a flat part, your drawing should only contain part outlines. For example, you should not upload a print containing tables, dimension, text, or other non part callouts that are difficult for a computer to interpret automatically: I have designed a camp kitchen in Fusion 360 and it has worked perfectly. What I want to be able to do is export the panels as eg .dxf files but with the dimensions on it for a mate interstate to download, print out and cut out with his jig saw. He has given me the dimensions that will fit his boat and now for me to simply redraw the object and send him some files he can print and use as plans Also note, for autoCAD users. If you import a PDF that was saved directly from CAD, you can import and it will auto pick up lines and curves. You can right click the sketch and click export as DXF in Fusion 360. hmmm i know solidworks can do it but i think InkScape has this option too (and is free). Drawing dimensioning workbench for FreeCAD v0.15 or later. Take note that this workbench is experimental and still contains bugs. Intended work-flow: create a drawing page and a drawing of the part using the drawing workbench; switch to the drawing dimensioning workbench to add dimensions to that drawing; Features: linear dimensioning Tutorial for Linear Dimensions¶. The Dimension entity is the generic entity for all dimension types, but unfortunately AutoCAD is not willing to show a dimension line defined only by this dimension entity, it also needs an anonymous block which contains the dimension line shape constructed by basic DXF entities like LINE and TEXT entities, this representation is called the dimension line If you need the drawing in mm, import the DXF as block (File menu). The main diameter then is 112.8889 mm. Scale the whole drawing by factor 2.25 (254mm/112.8889mm). To change the size of the dimension text and arrows, change the general scale in the current drawing preferences (Edit menu). Select the object to be scaled and type SCALEinto the command line and press Enter. Alternatively one can find this command on the 'Modify' panel on the 'Home' tab in the ribbon. Click at the base point, then type Rfor 'Reference'. Click at the first point point again then the second point of the existing image to be sized and type Pfor 'Point'.
