Work with Data in Other Formats
You can work with many different types of files, including files created with
other applications and files created in earlier releases of the program. You can
also specify search paths for drawing and support files.

Import Other File Formats
You can import files, other than DWG files, that were created with other
applications into your drawings.
Import ACIS SAT Files
You can import geometry objects stored in SA (ASCII) files using the ASCISIN
command.
ACISIN converts the model to a body object or to 3D solids and regions if the
body is a true solid or a true region.
Convert DXF and DXB Files to DWG Format
DXF and DXB files are two types of drawing interchange files used to transfer
data between various applications.
A DXF (drawing interchange format) file is either a binary or an ASCII
representation of a drawing file. It is often used to share drawing data between
other CAD programs.
A DXB (drawing interchange binary) file is a specially coded binary version
of a DXF file used for plotting, and can be used to “flatten” 3D wireframe
drawings into 2D vectors.
You can convert a DXF or DXB file to DWG format by opening the file and
saving it in DWG format. You can then work with the resulting drawing file
as you would with any other drawing file.
