DXF 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.


GLB Graphics Language Transmission File

A file format developed and maintained by the Khronos Group organization, a consortium of industry leaders that creates open standards for graphics, media, and parallel computing. It is designed to facilitate the efficient storage and exchange of 3D models.

Key Features of GLTF/GLB

  • GLTF Versions:

    There are two versions of the GLTF file format that are available:
    • GLTF 1.0:
      Supports basic geometry, simple materials with textures, basic skeletal animations with joint hierarchies, scenes with a single root node and a hierarchy of child nodes, etc.
    • GLTF 2.0:
      Supports more features, such as PBR (Physically Based Rendering) materials, Draco compression, advanced skeletal animations, skinning, morph targets, etc.
  • ASCII and Binary Modes:

    By default, a GLTF file is saved in ASCII text mode, which is human-readable and easy to edit. To save a GLTF file with all referenced texture images in binary mode, the GLB file extension should be used. This reduces the file size and the number of files.
  • Embedded Textures:

    GLTF/GLB files allow for a more streamlined and efficient way to manage 3D assets. By storing textures directly within the file, these formats eliminate the need for separate image files, making the 3D model self-contained and easier to distribute.

GLTF/GLB File Conversion

Autoconverter and Automesher Application allow you to import and export GLTF and GLB files, and convert them into various other 3D file formats. Our products also support the use of Draco compression, which can significantly reduce the size of GLTF and GLB files without compromising visual fidelity.
