Hand your plan to a pro — AutoCAD DXF export

One click produces a layered, dimensioned CAD file your architect or contractor can open directly in AutoCAD.

When your project moves from planning to building, the pros will ask for CAD. The AutoCAD (DXF) export turns your design into a proper technical drawing: double-line walls, doors and windows, furniture outlines, and real dimension entities — each on its own layer so an architect can switch parts on and off.

What you'll need

  • A design you're ready to hand off
  • The web app on a computer

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open Share / Export

    On your computer, open the Share / Export dialog from the top toolbar.

  2. 2

    Choose Export to DXF

    Pick Export to DXF in the menu. A short explainer confirms what the file contains, then it downloads with your design name.

    Everything for getting your plan out of the app lives in one menu.
  3. 3

    Open it in any CAD app

    AutoCAD, LibreCAD, DraftSight, and most CAD tools read it directly — at real-world scale, with layers for walls, openings, furniture, and dimensions.

Tips

Pair it with the PDF

Send the DXF for the pro's CAD work and a PDF for quick viewing — the PDF needs no special software.

Frequently asked questions

Is the export to scale?

Yes — the DXF uses real-world units, so measurements taken in CAD match your design exactly.
