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 "LAY"). This may be necessary for various reasons.

These tools work by reading the data from the file in format DXF and transforming it into format LAY. 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 LAY converters.
