IFC files mostly belong to AutoCAD from Autodesk. Files with IFC Enterprise Archive File are usually 3D models of buildings. Such files are based on the Industry Foundation Classes format (IFC), which typically contains 3D architectural models, shapes, spatial elements and materials. The IFC format provides interoperability with a consistent 3D asset data exchange format between BIM (building information modeling) software such as AutoCAD. The IFC format is the official ISO standard defined in ISO 16739-1:2018. Some 3D files with IFC Enterprise Archive File are STEP files, which are also based on the IFC format. All Image, a software that creates disk image backups for Windows operating systems, uses IFC Enterprise Archive File to store compressed disk images.
DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is an electronic drawing file format originally developed by AutoCAD and widely used. It is used to exchange and share 2D and 3D graphic data between different CAD (Computer Aided Design) software.
DXF files are in plain text format, which is readable and editable. It can store various types of graphic entities, such as points, lines, circles, polylines, polygons, arcs, text, and so on. In addition, DXF also supports storing metadata information such as layers, colors, linetypes, fonts, sizes, block definitions, and block references.
Due to DXF being an open file format, many CAD software supports importing and exporting DXF files. This enables the exchange of drawing data between different CAD software, facilitating collaboration and collaborative work between designers and engineers.
In DXF files, graphic data is saved in ASCII format and can be viewed and modified using a text editor. The structure of DXF files is clear and easy to parse and process. It is widely used in fields such as mechanical design, architectural design, and circuit design, becoming a universal data exchange standard between CAD software.
