DXF Files

Hi All,

What are .DXF files used for, and when does it make sense to convert a drawing to that format?

Thanks in advance and Regards

Every time if you share the file and the target side (user or machine) can not read dwg, but dxf.

Programs such as?

I mean there is plenty of freeware available to view .dwg files right.

The question is uninteresting, because if someone use a program that can not import DWGs,

it is what it is. That there a many programs who can read dwg files is nice to now,

but it isn't helpful if you need the data in your not-dwg-compatible program 😉

Du YOU only viewing dwg files? No.

And out there are many machines that can import DXF, but not DWG (CNC, Laser-cutter and so on)
