Install QGIS Plugins: Coordinate Capture and Another DXF Importer Below is a quick summary of the workflow: This posting goes over the workflow I use for working with CAD data in QGIS, specifically how to georeference a DXF file. So for those who don’t have access to ArcGIS, here’s an alternative for working with CAD (dwg/dxf files) using QGIS. I know not everyone has access to ArcGIS and/or CAD software. It makes my workflow more efficient, and I can get things done faster. Over the last few years, ESRI/ArcGIS has been advancing data interoperability between CAD and GIS – using ArcGIS, I love the ease with which I can pull in CAD data in GIS and vice versa for the Engineers and Architects I work with who need to pull in GIS data into their CAD software. I often work with CAD data that is often in paper space (not in geographic space that has real world coordinates), so I need to georeference the CAD file and be able to bring it into GIS and view it along with other GIS layers.
