Here at 33 Squared Ltd, along with other services, we offer a complete CAD service and over the past few months the dilemma of different software has arisen on many an occasion.

AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Rhino, Bryce, 3DS Max, CAD/CAM and the like have all raised their heads. One thing we have found that is native to all the software we have encountered thus far is the good old DXF file format.

Data Exchange Files do exactly what they say on the tin. As long as you save back to a resonable software issue, for example AutoCAD 2000 or 2000LT if you use AutoCAD, then 90% of all other software will be able to read and open your DXF file.
