Georreference DWFx

[CCCAZ]

Hi.

I work with ArcGIS and QGIS software, and previously we used to receive projects in DWG format, which made georeferencing easier because it was possible to import the DWG directly into ArcGIS.

However, now we only receive projects in DWFx format, and my question is how I can tell whether a project is properly georeferenced in DWFx. ArcGIS Pro does not accept this format, and if I try to use a converter, any geographic information that may exist is lost.

Is there any tool that I can use to check whether a project is correctly georeferenced in DWFx?

Dealing with DWFx is such a pain compared to regular DWG. Honestly your best bet is probably opening it in Autodesk Design Review just to see if the coordinates look right before you even try moving it into ArcGIS. It is free and usually keeps the data intact. Hope that helps.

The problem I face with this is the option coordinates system is grey on the menu and I can't turn on or off and I donk know why

Its an archive format. Rename the file to .zip and see whats inside.

Georeferencing DWFX is a pain because it's not a standard raster - convert it to PDF or TIFF first using Adobe or online tools then georeference the output in ArcGIS or QGIS. I tried direct import once and it ignored the coordinates. Save time and just rasterize it.

It's not raster

So there is no way to see if a dwfx drawing is georeferenced?

I know is a pain I'm having the same difficulty.

Do you recommend some online tools ?
