.DXF Files.

[gsksun4]

I recieved some .DXF files from a customer instead of .DWG files. Can I change them into .DWG files to work on them?

You can open DXF from within AutoCAD (just change the Files of Type at the bottom of the Open-window) and then Save As a DWG.

you can open them up like a dwg....just double click them and open them up...

 

or go to file > open....then at the bottom where it says "files of type:" go to the one that says dxf...you can then select the dxf's and open them

 

Edit: sorry...Tiger beat me to it.

ah, good old .dxf files... you should be able to open them (by double clicking on them, as mentioned above) and just re-save them as a newer version.

 

we use .dxf files for photometric readings.

I have my default to always save as a *.dwg file, vs 2000, by request.

 

Too many times, I have to call or email my customer(s) 'cause I currently use vs. '05 and/or '07. "Please save to an earlier version, I don't have '08 or '09. Sorry."
