DXF to DAE Conversion
With our tools, changing DXF to DAE is a breeze - follow these simple 3 steps:
Download & Install:
Convert your DXF drawings to DAE format seamlessly using Autoconverter - simply install and launch the software on your system.Import DXF Drawing:
Either click Open... to browse for your .dxf drawing, or drag and drop it anywhere in the application window.Export to DAE Format:
Use Save As... to specify both location and filename (with .dae extension) for your exported file.

- Revolutionizing 3D File Conversion Beyond Online Tools
- Autoconverter for Batch Conversion of 3D Files
- Batch Convert DWG Drawings - AutoCAD, ZWCAD & BricsCAD Supported
- Embed Texture Images Directly into GLTF and GLB Files
Drawing Exchange File
A universal, open file standard developed by Autodesk to enable seamless cross-platform exchange of CAD data between AutoCAD and other design applications. As a vendor-neutral format, DXF preserves 2D/3D geometry, layers, text, and basic metadata, making it ideal for collaboration across different CAD, CAM, and GIS software.
DXF Key Features
Origin:
Developed by Autodesk in 1982 as the ASCII/Binary CAD data interchange format.Compatibility:
Universal standard for 2D/3D CAD programs (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, etc.).ASCII Format:
The DXF format is text-based and uses a standard syntax to store DWG drawing data. It can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.Exchange of DWG Drawing:
The DXF format acts as a universal bridge for DWG data exchange between AutoCAD and third-party applications. This solution is especially valuable since Autodesk's proprietary DWG format requires licensed software for full access and editing capabilities.
DXF File Converters
Autoconverter and Automesher Application allow you to import and export DXF files, and convert them into various other file formats. You can use our products to convert 3D meshes into a set of DXF faces organized in colored layers. This allows you to further process and modify your models using your default DWG editor.
Collada File
An open-standard, XML-based file format engineered for flawless 3D asset interoperability across digital content creation platforms. Initially created by Sony and currently maintained by the Khronos Group, DAE functions as a universal bridge for exchanging digital assets - including materials, mesh geometries, and hierarchical 3D scene nodes - between diverse 3D software ecosystems.
DAE Format Capabilities
Reusable Geometry Components:
You can store and reuse geometry instances that are referenced by multiple objects in your DAE scene, saving memory and disk space.Multiple Texture Images and Coordinates:
You can assign different texture images and texture coordinates to each face of your DAE model, creating complex and realistic materials.Color Transparency and Named Groups:
You can control the opacity and color of your mesh, as well as organize your DAE objects into named groups for easy selection and manipulation.
DAE File Conversion
Our Autoconverter and Autoshaper applications provide robust support for processing and converting DAE files with maximum fidelity. Leveraging the OpenCOLLADA framework, these tools ensure full compatibility with the latest COLLADA specifications (1.4 and 1.5). The OpenCOLLADA integration guarantees reliable handling of complex assets, from animated characters to textured environments.
