Point Cloud File
A file extension that is used for ASCII text files that contain point cloud data. Point cloud data is a collection of 3D points that represent the shape of an object or a scene. Each row in an XYZ file consists of 3D point coordinates, typically separated by a special character like a TAB.
Key Features of XYZ
- Data Structure: Each line represents one point (X Y Z coordinates).
- Minimalism: No headers, metadata, or binary encoding.
- No Topology: Pure vertex data without mesh connections.
- Industry Use: Common in surveying, autonomous vehicles, and heritage preservation.
XYZ File Conversion
Autoconverter reconstructs polygonal meshes creating lightweight surface approximations ideal for visualization and 3D printing. For engineering and manufacturing applications requiring mathematical precision, Autoshaper generates smooth NURBS surfaces directly from XYZ point data, providing the accurate surface representation needed for CAD/CAM workflows.

2D/3D CAD Drawing
A proprietary binary file format developed by Autodesk for storing 2D and 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) data, including vector graphics, metadata, and geometric models. As the native file format for AutoCAD, DWG is the industry-standard for engineering, architecture, and construction design due to its precision, versatility, and widespread compatibility.
Standout Features of DWG
- Compatibility: DWG drawings are compatible with other software packages, such as ZWCAD, Bricscad, and IntelliCAD, which also support the DWG format. This makes DWG files the industry-standard in CAD.
- High-Precision Vector-Based Design: DWG files store vector-based data, 2D drawings, and 3D models, along with metadata, making them highly versatile. Ideal for technical drawings and designs requiring extreme accuracy, such as engineering blueprints and architectural plans.
- Support for Blocks: DWG format supports for "blocks", which are reusable design elements like symbols or templates, which help improve efficiency, maintain consistency across designs, and reduce file size by reusing common components without duplicating DWG data.
DWG Drawing Converters
DWG drawings can be easily converted into various 3D and GIS file formats, such as OBJ, STL, DXF, KML, and KMZ, using our add-ons - Automesher Application and Automapki Application. This allows you to seamlessly share your AutoCAD DWG drawings across different platforms and applications. Convert DWG to SKP, KML, STL and more - try our converters with a free trial today!
