Reprojecting .dxf file

Geographic Information Systems Asked by Plamen Georgiev on June 11, 2021

In connection with an archaeological project, I have data in .dxf format (lines and polygons). When I import them to QGIS, however, it positions them 8000 km southeast. I tried to change the CRS (WGS 84; WGS 84/UTM zone 35) of the files, but without success. The input data are in the local coordinate system 1970 I guess. I also tried to save .dxf file as .shp in different CRS – no effect.

Is there a way to fix the problem?

One Answer

The plugin AnotherDXF2Shape works fine, but was too late. I asked the surveyors for a list of points in .txt-file. I transformed the coordinates from the local system into a world file and imported them into QGIS 3 as CSV. Then I connected the points in lines and polygons and saved the files as shapes. I lost some of data, but it was not crucial to me.
