DXF Import for SolidWorks - AutoCAD DXF file Import add-in for SolidWorks
DXF Import for SolidWorks is an AutoCAD DXF file import
add-in for SolidWorks®. It gives SolidWorks the ability to
import solid objects from AutoCAD DXF files as solids models in
SolidWorks.
DXF Import for SolidWorks has the ability to read 3d
solid geometric data such as ACIS 3d solids, bodies and regions
in an AutoCAD DXF file and create corresponding 3d solid models
in SolidWorks part document. This add-in supports DXF files upto
the latest version of AutoCAD.
DXF Import for SolidWorks is very easy to use. It adds
new commands to SolidWorks. Once installed, it automatically
loads itself into SolidWorks and adds a new submenu called "DXFImport"
to the SolidWorks menu containing these newly added commands.
DWG Import for SolidWorks comes with detailed documentation as well as a

The DXF File Format
The AutoCAD DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format)
is a CAD data file format, developed by Autodesk as their solution for
enabling data interoperability between AutoCAD and other programs. DXF
was originally introduced in December 1982 as part of AutoCAD 1.0, and
was intended to provide an exact representation of the data in the
AutoCAD native file format, DXF (Drawing), for which Autodesk didn't
(and doesn't) publish specifications.
DXF is probably one of the most widely supported vector formats in the
world today. DXF is rich in features, including: support for 3D objects,
curves, text, associative dimensioning, etc. Although DXF was developed
to represent the data used in a CAD program, it is used by many programs
as a "least common denominator" format for the exchange of many
different types of data, most commonly vector-oriented information but
also text and 3D polygons.
