How to use DXF for Gombe State

AutoCAD, BricsCAD, NanoCAD, KOMPAS-3D — File → Open; to use the map as a base plan, insert it as an external reference rather than into the current drawing.
LibreCAD and FreeCAD (free) — open DXF directly, without ODA converters and plugins.
If a ZIP was downloaded — unpack it and keep map.dxf and map.prj together: the .prj file is the coordinate system you chose.

How to open the drawing: units are metres (projected coordinates, not degrees). If the screen is empty after opening, the file is not empty: use Zoom Extents (show all; in AutoCAD, the ZOOM → E command or a double click of the mouse wheel).

FAQ: DXF for Gombe State

What is the difference between DXF and DWG?

DXF is an open text format for CAD interchange. DWG is AutoCAD's proprietary binary format.

Can I open DXF in KOMPAS-3D?

Yes, KOMPAS-3D fully supports DXF file import.

Are colors and layers preserved?

Yes, all layer, color, and line type information is preserved.

Why did a ZIP archive download instead of a .dxf file?

That happens when you explicitly chose a coordinate system: inside the archive are map.dxf and map.prj with the description of the projection. The DXF format itself does not store the projection inside, so it travels in a separate companion file — as with a shapefile.

What units does the drawing arrive in?

In meters by default: in most countries the UTM zone of the ordered area's center, and in several countries the national grid (British National Grid, Lambert-93, State Plane in the US and others). The scale is not distorted, and distances and areas are measured with a ruler right away. Web Mercator is only a fallback — near the poles, for very wide areas and across the antimeridian.
