DXF

German:
DXF

DXF is an exchange format for CAD drawings. In pattern making it is the common way to hand a pattern from one program to another.

In the file

PatternScan Pro writes DXF in R2013, in millimetres, with curves as polylines and contour, seam allowance, notches and grainline on separate layers. A second AAMA/ASTM export follows the conventions pattern CAD expects.
