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 TAB file?
TAB is a geospatial vector format used by MapInfo software. It stores spatial data along with attributes, typically in a set of files that includes .tab, .dat, .map, and .id components.
TAB files are widely used in GIS applications for mapping, spatial analysis, and geodata exchange. They support points, lines, polygons, and labels within custom coordinate systems.
How to open TAB files
TAB files can be opened with MapInfo Professional and other GIS tools like QGIS (with plugins) or FME. They often require accompanying files (.dat, .map, .id) for proper use.
Convert TAB to SHP, KML, or GeoJSON using AnyConv or through GIS export tools.
