How it works

How DXF Splitter works

DXF with multiple parts in, parts out, on your own machine. Here it is step by step.

STEP 01

Open your file

Sign in or create a free account, then drag a DXF onto the page or browse for it. It opens immediately once you're in, because there's no upload to wait for - the file is read straight off your disk by the browser. You get a proper view of the nest: pan, zoom, layer visibility, and the measurements you'd expect.

Supported: DXF from R12 onwards, ASCII and binary. Lines, arcs, circles, polylines, splines, ellipses, text and blocks.

STEP 02

See what it found

DXF Splitter walks the geometry, joins entities into closed profiles, works out which loops are holes inside which outlines, and groups each part with its own cutouts and any text sitting inside it. Every part it finds is outlined and numbered on screen.

Nothing is exported until you've looked at it. Deselect parts you don't want, disable layers, set units of measure and specify a tolerance for any small gaps between entities.

STEP 03

Set the output

Choose how files are named - part number, source filename, an incrementing index, or a template combining them. Choose whether each part is moved to its own origin or left on the sheet coordinates.

STEP 04

Export

One DXF per part, delivered as a ZIP by your browser, written on your machine. The ZIP includes a CSV file detailing all the parts split alongside a parts report PDF.

Afterwards

What happens to the file afterwards

Nothing. There's no copy on a server to delete, no retention period to read about and no account setting to check, because the file was never sent. Close the tab and it's gone.

Split a nest and see

Create a free account and run a real file through it - not a demo. Your first nest is free, there's no card to enter, and there's nothing to install.
