DXF Viewer is a free viewer for DXF files, it enables you to quickly open and read DXF files, you do not need to install any other huge CAD systems, just use this small software, you can easily view the content of DXF files. This software supports zoom in and zoom out function, very simple and easy to use, moreover, this is a completely freeware, free for personal use.
LX- Viewer will allow you to open, view and print DWG or DXF files, typically used in CAD related technical drafting. You may zoom and pan the drawing normally and save to DWG or DXF from AutoCAD v2.5 to 2002 +BMP, PNG and SVG format.
Quick Start:
- DXF2GCODE is a tool for converting 2D (dxf, pdf, ps) drawings to CNC machine compatible GCode. Windows, Linux, and Mac support by using python scripting language.
- Libdxfrw is a free C library to read and write DXF files in both formats, ascii and binary form. Also can read DWG files from R14 to the last V2015. It is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 (or at you option any later version).
- Most CAD and CAM software will open, create and edit DXF files. Importing a DXF file into a CAD program and then exporting it is the best way to convert DXF files to a different CAD drawing file format. Many drawing programs such as Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw will also open, edit, and save DXF files, so this is another possibility.
- Open File: menu [File] - [Open File], or toolbar button [Open], shortcut is [Ctrl O];
- Close File: menu [File] - [Close File], shortcut is [Ctrl W];
- Zoom In: menu [View] - [Zoom In], or toolbar button [Zoom In], or mouse wheel scroll up, shortcut is [Ctrl +];
- Zoom Out: menu [View] - [Zoom Out], or toolbar button [Zoom Out], or mouse wheel scroll down, shortcut is [Ctrl -];
In addition, some DXF graphics will use different text encodings, after file open and display, if some text are garbled, you can select a different text encoding from menu [View] - [Text Encoding]. The supported encodings include 'Default', 'System Default', 'ASCII', 'UTF-8' and 'Unicode', please note that the 'System Default' represents the text encoding for operating system's current ANSI code page.
App To Open Dxf Files
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a CAD data file format, an open vector data format, it is used for data exchange between AutoCAD and other software, it has two types: ASCII format (more readable) and binary format (more smaller), this file format is also widely used now, almost all CAD systems can import or export DXF data.
