DXF to SVG with Accurate Scale

When converting DXF to SVG, naive converters often ignore units, producing an SVG that looks right on screen but has no correct physical dimensions. This tool gives you control over the output scale, specifying the DXF drawing unit (mm or inches) and the desired SVG output size, so the resulting file is suitable for technical documentation, printing, or embedding in web pages where real dimensions matter.

Real-World Examples & Use Cases

Technical Documentation

Convert CAD drawings to SVG for inclusion in PDF or HTML technical manuals at the correct scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "scale preserved" mean for SVG?▼

The output SVG's viewBox and physical size attributes are set so that the SVG displays at the correct real-world size when printed or embedded at 96 DPI.

What if my DXF uses inches?▼

Select "inches" as the DXF unit. The converter will apply the 25.4 mm/inch ratio when generating the SVG.
