Cad Mapper is a website that can save architects and urban planners hours of routine drawing. Brandon Liu, the founder of Cad Mapper, is an American Software Developer who collected data from OpenStreetMap and Mapzen Metro Extracts to create DXF CAD files of 241 major cities worldwide. Thankfully, these files are completely free to download via this link. You can also use the website to get any DXF file free of charge for an area up to 1 km2.
“These files can save architecture and urban planning firms hours of routine data collection and drawing. All files are in the widely used DXF format, and can be edited in design programs such as AutoCAD and Rhinoceros. Data is derived fromOpenStreetMap, the premier open source mapping project.” via cadmapper.com
