PLY to DXF
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to the PLY and DXF interoperability and exchange that can help you with the PLY to DXF conversion.
- Automesher desktop application for Windows to convert 3D file formats
- Convert 3D mesh files in the batch mode
- Import and export STL, OBJ, 3DS, PLY, 3DM, SKP, IGES and STEP files
PLY File
PLY (Polygon File Format or Stanford Triangle Format) is a file format developed to store three dimensional triangles with additional properties e.g. color, normals, transparency or texture coordinates. However, Autoconverter our PLY file converter can only read and write mesh geometry without the material properties, as in the PLY file they can vary between triangle vertices. You can save PLY files in a binary or ASCII text file format, with the preference for the binary version due to a significant PLY file size saving.
DXF AutoCAD File
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is an ASCII file format developed and maintained up until now by the Autodesk company to exchange DWG drawing data between AutoCAD and the other programs as the native DWG file format is proprietary and requires a license to use. Our Autoconverter and Automesher Application software allow you to convert 3D meshes to a set of DXF faces placed in the colored layers which you can process further with your DWG editor.
