    are DXF files supported by window 10


    I have been sent a .dxf file for Auto cad or Auto sketch. I have reset the file association to .dxf in windows 10, but the system will not recognize the format when I try to open it and insists in using window default app instead, which I have never used.

    Autocad and Autosketch are industry standard software that I have used itf or the last 30 years. Is windows 10 not compatible with the file format? They always worked in Win 7.
    It tries to use Microsft 3d builder instead, but this will not run .dxf files
    3d builder is the default app. It is supposed to read .dxf files but will not do so.
    Does anyone know how to make windows 10 recognize .dxf files?

    :)

  2. Problem with 3D Builder for Windows 10

    Michael,

    Thanks for reaching out to us with your question, and sorry for the issues you are having.

    DXF files can be both 2D and 3D. Currently 3D Builder only supports opening 3D DXF files, though we are looking at adding 2D support in future.

    Do you know if your file is 2D or 3D? If it is 2D you may need to find a different tool to use, or try and find another file format version of the file you currently have.

    Also, it is important to note that 3D Builder does not save to .DXF. Currently we only save to .3MF, .STL, .OBJ, and .PLY. So you will not be able to save to .DXF if it does open up in 3D Builder.

  3. Unable to open the files on 3D builder.

    Hello,

    does 3D Builder dropped the dfx, 3ds and collade file support? I cant open the files anymore!

    There's been issues with Autocad for years. What I'd do is get a Viewer installed and check the file with it. Several pages about a Viewer here:
