RLD to DXF Converter

About This Tool

The converter ingests an RLD file or data stream, validates geometry and entities, and prepares an equivalent DXF representation. It preserves linework, polylines, arcs, and coordinates, while normalizing units to a user-specified system. When an RLD file contains layers, blocks, or attributes, these are aligned to corresponding DXF constructs where possible. The tool operates in batch mode for file sets and can emit a log of mapped entities.
Core logic maps RLD entities to DXF entities: points to POINTs, lines to LINEs, polylines to LWPOLYLINE, arcs to ARC, and blocks to BLOCK definitions. It recreates layer hierarchies in the DXF file and preserves visibility attributes when present. Basic metadata, such as names and references, is preserved where representable; otherwise, it is summarized in the log.
Audience and value: CAD drafters, engineers, and data integrators who must move data between RLD-based workflows and standard DXF pipelines. The converter reduces manual re-drawing, minimizes translation errors, and accelerates design handoffs across design reviews, manufacturing, and archival tasks.
Core features and use cases: input validation, deterministic mappings, optional lossless mode, and a structured conversion log. Outputs include DXF files and a machine-readable log. Typical use cases cover architectural, mechanical, and civil CAD projects needing DXF interoperability across multiple CAD platforms.
