It’s currently not enabled, but hopefully at some point in the future it will be, and you’ll be able to do a direct conversion. You might have noticed that under File Format, SHP-ESRI is listed as an option. The text that appears in the box below is the actual KML file content. Here’s a screenshot of the website with a KML file loaded in: This website actually converts KML files not just into DXF format, but also GPX, Surfer, and several text formats (CSV and tab-delimited text, although some editing would have to be done to make these textfiles importable into a spreadsheet). The first step is to convert the KML files into AutoCAD DXF format using KML2x website tool. Here’s a screenshot of the KML data I’ll be using in this example: This process works with any KML file, with any combination of points, paths, and polygons unlike the previous approach, there’s no real benefit to saving points, paths, and polygons in separate files. Today, I’ll describe a simpler and faster two-step process, but one that unfortunately doesn’t keep the name or any of the other KML data associated with the original shapes. In the last post, I covered a mildly painful way to convert the vector data (points, paths, and polygons) in Google Earth KML files to shapefile format, while keeping at least the name associated with the points and paths.
