What Is An Autocad DXF File? And Is It Useful?

DXF, or Drawing Interchange Format as it known as, is a CAD data file format. It may also be referred to as a Drawing Exchange Format as it does exactly this.

Originally created by Autodesk, the makers of Autocad, the DXF enables data exchange between Autocad programs and other similar programs in the industry. Drawing Interchange Format was created in 1982 for the original Autocad and was used to represent Autocads natural format.

Since then, specifications have been made so that other CAD programs can correctly exchange data. Yet as Autodesk has upgraded Autocad, making it more complex and powerful, the DXF has not been as useful in exchanging and conveying data in other programs.

Since then Autocad has moved onto to the DWG (drawing) file, which stores 3 dimensional design data in a number of CAD programs, including Autocad, IntelliCAD and Caddie. It is also useful in CAD applications which support a variety of CAD files.

The DWG drawing file is likely to be the most popular file format for CAD programs you are likely to come across. Like DXF it was created and implemented by Autodesk, thus the file format is always up to date with AutoCAD technology.

Currently Autodesk have a free DWG viewer, known as Autodesk DWG TrueView, which lets you view both DXF and DWG files without program bias. It enables you to see your 3 dimensional drawings just as you would in AutoCAD. To complement this, they have another program that is free, Design Review, which enables you to open DWG files and use the mark up measures of Autodesk software.

Both DXF and DWG files are in use within the design industry. Autodesk not forgetting this, has put great effort in to enable people to cross use these files in CAD programs and display them via the use of Autocad. Autodesks new freeware has enabled many to share with ease, older or different formats, enabling better communication of ideas within the design industry.

AutoCAD 2011; "hidden" linetypes remain continuous in model view?

linetypes arent showing up in autocad2011

layers are created: 0, hidden and center, linetypes are set for each layer but when i select lines and set their layer to hidden, the linetype remains continuous
fixed with ltscale at .06, thanks man

Try change LTSCALE to 10 or 100 or 0.1 or 0.01 and REGEN, LTSCALE is factor for increase o decreas lenght dash style

Check if linetype style for your lines is set to BYLAYER

Check PSLTSCALE = 0

Purchase AutoCAD LT 2011 cheap

AutoCAD LT 2011 is a powerful software used by design professionals for drafting and detailing. It can be used to document ideas with precise, detailed drawings starting with basic shapes (such as lines, circles or arcs) and combining them to create more complex designs.

When drawing, the software helps to snap created objects relative to the position of existing objects. Also new objects can be created from existing ones, using tools such as copy, offset or mirror. Text, dimensions and hatches can be added to complete a drawing, and offer all the necessary information. Similar objects can be organized into layers, so that various properties can be applied to them, such as color or line type.

The ideas and drawings can be easily shared with other people, thanks to a variety of drawing and output file formats. The software uses the DWG format (one of the most widely used formats for design files) that allow for easy sharing with other users and is compatible with other Autodesk software. Other exporting formats include PDF, DWF or DGN.

The user interface can be organized to match the preferences of a user by rearranging ribbon tabs and panels and the templates allow to have the same layers, indentation styles and everything else needed, when creating a new document. The tooltips are really helpful, and they display a summary of the command.

Many of the new features added to AutoCAD LT 2011 will help the user improve control over drawings appearance and save time during everyday drafting tasks. Now objects and layers can be made transparent, thus enabling to see through them. Also the visibility of an object can be controlled independently of it's layer.

New functionality has also been added to objects control. One can now quickly select similar objects, or create new ones based on the properties of an existing object. Blocks allow to efficiently re-use content, and the dynamic properties make them even more flexible and powerful. Block attributes can also be easily managed, either one at a time (with the enhanced attributes editor) or for an entire drawing (with the synchronized attributes tool).

Annotations can now be created and edited faster and with more flexibility, using text, dimensions, multi-leaders and table tools. Scaling an annotation will help to automatically calculate the sizes of text, dimensions, blocks or pattern hatches. It also allows to show the same annotation object at multiple scales, without unneeded objects.

The fields can help creating intelligent text that references object or drawing information and automatically updates when the information is changed. The quick dimensions tool allows to quickly add dimensions to multiple objects with just one command. Grip editing can be used to move, stretch, rotate, scale and mirror objects, or to adjust parameters for dynamic blocks, change the properties of a hatch object and add or remove vertices from polylines. The align command will allow to match the scale, rotation and location of two objects.
