[OpenLayers-Users] Using AutoCAD files (DWG, DXF and similar)

[Lehtonen, Mika]

Hi Pawel,
depends on how complex your cad geometries/files are. You could also try 
OpenJUMP (www.openjump.org) with separately downloaded DXF-import 
plugin. With that package, you can convert your dxfs' into some other 
format and use them directly in OL or better, serve them throug some map 
server. If your files are complex, you'd better stick to some raster 
format. Main question might be; do you need vectors or just an image of 
them?
