What is a DXF file?
DXF stands for Drawing Exchange Format and was created by Autodesk to facilitate data interoperability between AutoCAD and other software. Unlike DWG, DXF is an open format, often used to exchange design data between different CAD tools.
DXF files can store 2D and 3D data and are commonly used in CNC machining, laser cutting, and vector design. Their plain text structure makes them easier to interpret but can result in larger file sizes compared to binary formats.
How to open DXF files
DXF files can be opened with almost any CAD software, including AutoCAD, LibreCAD, SolidWorks, and CorelDRAW. Many vector editors and laser cutting tools also support DXF.
AnyConv makes it easy to convert DXF files to SVG, PDF, or other formats for broader compatibility.

What is a DGN file?
DGN is a CAD file format developed by Bentley Systems and used primarily in MicroStation. It is commonly employed in large infrastructure and civil engineering projects, such as roads, railways, and utilities planning.
There are two main variants: V7 (older, 16-bit) and V8 (modern, 64-bit), with V8 being the most commonly used today. DGN files support complex 2D and 3D designs and are a key part of many public sector engineering workflows.
How to open DGN files
DGN files can be opened using Bentley MicroStation or compatible tools like Bentley View and AutoCAD (with specific import settings). Some viewers support read-only access.
If you need to convert DGN to DWG, PDF, or image formats, AnyConv provides a simple online solution.
