DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) File
The DXF file format (Drawing Exchange Format), developed by Autodesk in 1982, is a universal standard for sharing CAD data across platforms. Designed as a vendor-neutral alternative to DWG, DXF files preserve essential design elements - such as 2D/3D geometry, layers, text annotations, and metadata - ensuring seamless collaboration between AutoCAD and a wide range of CAD, CAM, and GIS applications.
Key Features of DXF Files
- Open Standard: Originally created to allow open access to CAD data, the DXF format is available in both ASCII and binary versions for easy interoperability and editing.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: DXF is widely supported by major CAD programs like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, BricsCAD, and more, facilitating efficient project sharing and workflow integration.
- Text-Based Format: The ASCII DXF format uses a readable text syntax, making it simple to view, edit, and debug using standard text editors.
- DWG Exchange: DXF acts as a critical bridge for exchanging DWG drawing data without requiring proprietary software, ensuring broader accessibility and collaboration across different design platforms.

OFF File Format - 3D Object File for Polygon Meshes
The OFF (Object File Format) is a simple, ASCII-based 3D file format used for representing polygonal geometry in a lightweight, non-proprietary structure. Designed for academic and development use, the OFF format efficiently stores 3D model data using only vertices, faces, and optional edge information - ideal for geometry-focused workflows without material or texture metadata.
OFF File Features
- Editable ASCII Structure: OFF files are plain text, easily viewable and editable in any standard text editor, making them perfect for manual modeling or debugging.
- Supports Polygonal Geometry: Store 3D shapes using triangle meshes, quadrilaterals, or general polygons. Each face is defined by a list of vertex indices, allowing flexible model design.
- Lightweight and Minimal: Unlike complex CAD formats, OFF excludes materials, textures, and metadata, focusing purely on geometric structure for fast, efficient modeling.
Convert OFF Files to Other 3D Formats
Our 3D conversion tools make working with OFF files fast and flexible. Autoconverter enables direct conversion of OFF mesh models to popular formats such as STL, OBJ, SKP (SketchUp), and PLY - preserving polygonal integrity throughout. For advanced workflows, Autoshaper can convert OFF files into NURBS-based formats like STEP, IGES, and BREP, ideal for CAD software and precision manufacturing.
