DXF to SHP Conversion: FAQ

What are DXF files?

DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a format associated with AutoCAD, a popular program used for computer-aided design by engineers, architects and other professionals in the field of building design and construction. The DXF format was developed in the early 1980s by Autodesk with the purpose of increasing the interoperability between AutoCAD and other CAD or advanced image design programs.
