Convert DXF to FLT

Understanding DXF and FLT file formats

DXF (Drawing Exchange Format) is a CAD data file format developed by Autodesk for enabling data interoperability between AutoCAD and other programs. It is widely used for sharing and exchanging CAD drawings across different platforms and software.

FLT (OpenFlight) is a 3D geometry file format used primarily in the simulation and modeling industry. It is known for its ability to store complex 3D models with detailed attributes, making it a preferred choice for visual simulation applications.

How to convert DXF to FLT

Converting a DXF file to an FLT file involves translating 2D or 3D CAD data into a format suitable for simulation and modeling. This process can be accomplished using specialized software that supports both file formats.

Best software for DXF to FLT conversion

One of the best software options for converting DXF to FLT is Okino's PolyTrans. This software is renowned for its robust support of various 3D file formats and its ability to accurately convert between them. To perform the conversion, follow these steps:

• Open Okino's PolyTrans.
• Use the File menu to Import the DXF file.
• Once the file is loaded, go to File → Export → FLT.
• Configure any necessary export settings and save the file.

Another option is Autodesk 3ds Max with the appropriate plugins, which can also handle this conversion effectively.
