What is an DXX file?

.DXX files are utilized in AutoCAD software to store attribute data that can be interchanged between different CAD drawings or projects. These files contain specific attributes related to the drawing elements, aiding in the exchange of information between different CAD systems or versions.

More Information.

Initially introduced as part of AutoCAD’s features, the .DXX format was created to streamline the transfer of attribute information between different CAD projects or systems. It aimed to enhance interoperability and compatibility among various CAD software.

Origin Of This File.

The .DXX file format originated within the AutoCAD environment to facilitate the exchange of attribute data between CAD drawings.

File Structure Technical Specification.

.DXX files typically comprise structured data that define attributes associated with CAD elements such as lines, shapes, or text. These attributes can include properties like color, layer, text style, and other custom-defined characteristics. The technical specifications of .DXX files are primarily designed to ensure accurate attribute data exchange between CAD environments.
