DXF, or Drawing Exchange Format, is a file format developed by Autodesk for enabling data interoperability between AutoCAD and other software applications. It allows users to share 2D and 3D drawings, making it easier for architects, engineers, and designers to collaborate on projects. The DXF format is widely used in various industries, including architecture, engineering, and manufacturing. It supports a range of graphic elements, such as lines, arcs, and text, ensuring that detailed designs can be accurately represented and modified across different platforms and tools.
