About DXF

DXF was published by Autodesk so that other programs could read AutoCAD drawings. It is a list of numbered codes and values, readable as plain text, and it holds the same kinds of objects as a DWG: lines, arcs, text, dimensions, layers and blocks. Because the format is open and simple, almost every program that deals with drawings can import it, though the finer points of a drawing do not always survive the trip.

DXF files are large and show no picture until a CAD program or viewer opens them. DXF is read by nearly every CAD, CAM and laser-cutting program.
