DXF stands for DRAWING EXCHANGE FORMAT. The format was first concocted by the authors of AutoCAD to help promote drawing file translation to and from other software packages. Although the encoding scheme is both verbose and cryptic, its complete format has been published and thus is universally accepted.

CIRCAD's transparent import filtering allows you to read a DXF file by simply selecting the desired file when using the Open File function.

To write a DXF file, you must explicitly specify DXF format when using the Save As ... function.
