SHPDXF(1)

💅 NAME 💅

shpdxf — bestie, it creates a DXF from an existing shapefield. That's the whole vibe. It's a shplib (shapelib) page, SHPDXF(1), so you already know it's iconic. ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

shpdxf shapefile idfield

Two little arguments, that's it, no cap. 🎀

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• shapefile — the name of an existing shapefile. Like, the one you already have. Don't come at it with a shapefile that doesn't exist, okay? 😭
• idfield — the attribute that will be used as id. That's it, that's the job. 👑

---

🌸 EXAMPLE 🌸

shpdxf shapefile name

Look at her go 🫶 — you pass in the shapefile, you pass in name as the id attribute, and boom, DXF. Slay.

💖 AUTHOR 💖

Okay so lore time: shpxdf is part of shapelib, maintained by Frank Warmerdam. This guide was created by Eduardo Patoo Kanegae and converted to manpage by Johan Van de Wauw. We stan all three of them fr fr. 💜

💀 no exit status, no environment variables, no warnings — this page is short and unbothered. Just the two args and the ~vibe~.

March 2026, from shplib — that's the source, that's the version, that's the date, and that's the whole SHPDXF(1) page. Periodt. 💅🌈
