In this guide we’ll cover the basic qualities of DXF and DWG, and why it can be useful to convert from one to the other. The good news is that the process itself is very simple!

Sure, they have many similar qualities, but you should be aware that they are suited to slightly different uses. DXF and DWG are files with a shared history, but that certainly does not mean they are interchangeable.
