Import File .shp in Autocad. It’s actually not that hard to change file with .shp format Becomes .dwg format in Autocad. Because we know the truth .shp format format devoted to the program ArcView. The first to be provided in doing import .shp file is an app Autocad Map 3Dhere I use Autocad Map 3d 2010.

1. 1. Followed by selecting menu “Map > Tools > Import” like the picture below:

      

      or it can be done in command by typing command “mapimport” without quotes.

1. 1. A dialog box will open “Import Locations” in section “Files of type” please select “ESERI Shapefile (*.shp)” and proceed with looking for where the .shp file that you saved and select it “Ok”.

1. 1. A dialog box will appear as below and continue by selecting “OK”

      

1. 1. If the image does not appear on the autocad work screen, type on the keyboard “Z (Enter) E (Enter)”
