Files with DAT extension contain text or binary data. Due to the fact, that it is a general extension , such files may include data from various programs, of a highly complex storing structure, meaning and size. The universal DAT extension describes a file containing some sort of data.
File with DXF extension contains project data for AutoCAD vector image; it is similar to DWG format, but is stores data in more data exchange-friendly form at. Initially DXF files stored data in ASCII text, but now it also support binary format.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the DAT file after converting to DXF may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from DAT to DXF to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting DAT to DXF does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in DAT format, properly converted to a DXF file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file DAT the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of DAT file to other than DXF. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your DAT file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to DXF on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the DAT file in its original format (without conversion to DXF file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
