Comments

DXF is an AutoDesk graphics format (Drawing eXchange Format). Most CAD programs (PC-based) support this format. Because DXF is text-based and implements an open specification, it is simpler and more broadly supported than the proprietary DWG format. ImageGear supports the toggling of Layouts, Views, and Layers for DXFs.
