What is DWF file?
The DWF (Design Web Format File)DWF file extension is commonly used to store CAD (Computer-Aided Design) renderings, and contain two- and three-dimensional data objects in a compressed format. As an open-standard web format developed by Autodesk Inc.Autodesk, DWF allows users to easily collaborate on draft designs, distribute data over the web, and export designs between different digital drawing applications.

This type of file contains a combination of compressed graphical images and text that can be edited and published in different formats from its native output.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from DWF to DWFX?
To successfully convert the DWF file to DWFX, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.DWF). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DWFX (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than DWFX).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. DWF to DWFX. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting DWF files to DWFX files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension DWFX, while before this step we had the DWF file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DWFX file, or not.
