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 GML file?
GML (Geography Markup Language) is an XML-based format designed for expressing geographical features. It was developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium as a standard for geospatial data exchange.
GML is used in GIS, mapping, and web services to represent vector geometry, spatial references, and feature attributes in a structured, readable way.
How to open GML files
GML files can be opened using GIS applications like QGIS, ArcGIS, and FME. Since it's XML-based, GML can also be viewed in text editors.
Convert GML to SHP, KML, or GeoJSON using AnyConv or spatial data conversion software.
