[comp.sys.sgi] DXF file format

loki@NAZGUL.PHYSICS.MCGILL.CA (Loki Jorgenson Rm421) (02/05/91)

	Does anyone know what "dxf" file format is and where I might get
a description of it?  Is it in any way related to ALIAS?

Thanks,
                             __          __

DXF is a CAD file interchange format defined by Autodesk (makers of PC
CAD programs AutoCAD and AutoSketch).  It's supported for file interchange
by a number of other CAD vendors.  There is a description of the format
in an appendix in the AutoCAD manual (and in some of the AutoCAD books
available from third parties).  I don't know about any relationship
to ALIAS.
