A DXF file is a format designed by AutoCAD to exchange drawing files. The format provides for either ASCII files or binary files. In WinLoG the exchange format used is an ASCII file.
When the AutoCAD DXF menu item of the Export Data submenu is selected, the Save As form will be displayed. Specify the file name to use and press the Save button.
The AutoCAD DXF format does not allow for the exchange of bitmaps or Windows fonts. In addition, the color palettes used can vary depending upon the application. Because of these limitations with the format, the exported logs will not contain any bitmap or font information, and the colors may vary. All of the text in the log will be exported in ROMAN font, and none of the bitmaps used to draw the soil symbols, well seals, and packing, and sample types will be exported. If you require this information in the exported file, it is recommended that you export the log as a bitmap file or enhanced metafile instead. The bitmap file or enhanced metafile can then be imported into AutoCAD.
Only borehole logs can be exported to DXF file format. Since legends are primarily comprised of, bitmaps there is no facility to export them to DXF format. It is recommended that legends be exported in bitmap or enhanced metafile format and then imported if required.
