Why convert DXF to ICO?
DXF is Autodesk's Drawing Exchange Format, a widely supported way to move CAD geometry between AutoCAD and other drafting, CAM and design programs. Lines, polylines, arcs, circles, ellipses and splines from the drawing are rendered on a white background, with block references expanded in place.
ICO output is a 256 × 256 pixel Windows icon: the image is scaled to fit with its proportions kept, and the surrounding space is transparent.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert DXF to ICO?
Drop your DXF file above and press Convert. Our servers parse the DXF entities, draw them as a vector image with the longest side at 2400 pixels, place it on a PDF page and render that page as the image you chose. The result is saved as a 256 × 256 ICO icon, ready to download.
Which DXF entities are drawn in the ICO?
Lines, polylines, lightweight polylines, arcs, circles, ellipses and splines from the ENTITIES section are drawn, and blocks placed with INSERT are expanded so their contents appear where they were inserted.
How is a DXF drawing framed in the ICO?
The view is fitted to the extent of the drawing's geometry, so the whole design appears in one image whatever units it was drawn in.
Which part of the DXF becomes the ICO icon?
The first page of the rendered content is used for the icon, fitted inside the 256 × 256 square with its proportions kept.
What size is the ICO made from a DXF file?
The icon is 256 × 256 pixels, the largest standard Windows icon size. The image is fitted inside the square with its proportions kept and a transparent surround, stored as a PNG-compressed icon.
