Can I Open GIS SHP/SHX Files in F/X CAD?

Issue

You want to open GIS SHP or SHX files in F/X CAD.

Solution

Unfortunately, F/X CAD does not include AutoCAD Map tools to import these kinds of files. Your options are:

Option 1:

Use AutoCAD Map instead.

Option 2:

You can convert these files into a format that's compatible with F/X CAD. We've heard of some converting software platforms that will convert GIS files into other formats, for less cost than AutoCAD Map. One example is Guthrie CAD, which will convert GIS files into DWG, DXF, or KML formats.
