Drawing Exchange Format
The CAD exchange format for CNC routers, plasma cutters, lasers and Silhouette Studio Basic.
.dxf
Quick facts
DXF was created by Autodesk so CAD programs could share drawings. It stores pure geometry (lines, arcs and polylines), which makes it the most reliable format for machines that follow a path: routers, plasma tables, waterjets and lasers.
DXF doesn't store fills or most colors, and units matter. A file drawn in millimetres but read as inches comes out 25.4 times too big, so a good DXF states its units.
