Convert DXF to CAD
| File Extension | DXF |
| Full Name | AutoCAD DXF Drawing Exchange Format |
The extension .dxf belongs to the files of the type drawing exchange format files. These are the files that store graphical data in a digital format and often the output formats of Computer Aided drawing tools. The file is used mostly for the vector image files that are rendered using the Autodesk Software tools.

| Full Name | CAD Drawing Format |
File with a .CAD extension contains CAD data, such as 2 and 3D dimensions and the geometry of parts. They are used to store projects of designed products and parts. In the newer editions of the software, the format has been substituted by BBCD files.
What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "DXF") to another (referred to as "CAD"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, DXF file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format DXF to format CAD becomes essential.
So, how can we perform DXF to CAD file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format DXF and transforming it into format CAD. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of DXF to CAD converters.

How to convert the DXF file to CAD?
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of DXF to CAD. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the DXF file:
- Please indicate on your computer the source file DXF, the format of which you are going to change
- Load the DXF file to the application
- Select the output format of the CAD file (the one that we want to achieve)
- Select the location to save the output file CAD on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
- Confirm conversion
- Wait for a moment
- Enjoy the converted CAD file that can be found in the location selected in step 4

I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
