Drawing Exchange Format (DXF) is a file format designed by Autodesk to allow exchange with their AutoCAD software. While they publish specs it is not an open format as they alone control iterations to the format. Autodesk and the Open Design Alliance sell commercial licenses for accessing DXF files. There is generally good support for DXF in free/libre software.

DXF can be thought of as an exchange version of the Drawing (DWG) format developed by Autodesk.

The Open Design Alliance has a freely available proprietary ODA File Converter for converting between different versions of .dwg and .dxf
