DXF to OFF Conversion
Follow these steps to seamlessly change DXF to OFF with our converter:
Install Autoconverter
Download and install Autoconverter on your system. Launch the software to convert DXF drawings to OFF format
Import DXF Drawing
Click Open... to load your DXF drawing (.dxf), or drag and drop it into the application window.
Export to OFF Format
Use Save As... to export your drawing to the OFF mesh file format (.off).

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.
Object File Format
A straightforward, human-readable file format designed for representing 3D polygonal models. As a lightweight alternative to complex CAD formats, OFF focuses on storing essential geometric data - vertices, edges, and faces - without proprietary constraints.
Key Features of OFF
- ASCII Text Files: OFF files are text-based and use a simple syntax to store geometric data of 3D objects. The files can be easily edited and viewed with any text editor or viewer.
- Polygonal Shapes: The OFF format allows to store 3D triangles, quads, and other generic polygonal shapes. Each shape is defined by a list of vertices and a list of faces.
- Limitations: OFF files support only geometric data - materials, textures, and group names from source files are discarded during conversion.
OFF File Conversion
Our software offers two specialized approaches for OFF file conversion. Autoconverter handles conversion of OFF files to common mesh formats including STL, SKP, OBJ, and PLY, maintaining the original polygonal structure. Autoshaper provides advanced conversion of OFF polygonal data into smooth NURBS surfaces, exporting to BREP, STEP, and IGES formats for CAD workflows.
