DXF to XYZ
Refer to the following resources for additional support on the interoperability and exchange of DXF and XYZ file formats. They will assist you in transitioning from DXF to XYZ file.

- Import and Export STL, OBJ, 3DS, PLY, 3DM, SKP, IGES, and STEP Files
DXF Drawing
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is an ASCII file format developed and maintained by Autodesk. It serves as a conduit for exchanging DWG drawing data between AutoCAD and other programs. This is particularly beneficial as the native DWG file format is proprietary and requires a license to use. With our software, Autoconverter and Automesher Application, you can convert 3D meshes into a set of DXF faces organized in colored layers. This enables further processing and modifications using your default DWG editor.
XYZ Point Cloud File
The XYZ (Point cloud data) file extension is used for ASCII text files that contain point cloud data. Each row in an XYZ file consists of 3D point coordinates, typically separated by a special character like a TAB. Optionally, the XYZ file may also include 3D normal vector coordinates for each point. Our primary XYZ file converter, Autoconverter software, can automatically reconstruct mesh surfaces from point cloud data. Additionally, Autoshaper software, another one of our XYZ file converters, allows for the reconstruction of smooth NURBS surfaces from scattered points stored in the XYZ file. It’s worth noting that point cloud data may also use alternative file extensions such as ASC or TXT.
