DXB File - opening and understanding
Did your computer fail to open a DXB file? We explain what they are used for and recommend software that we know can open or otherwise handle your .DXB files.
What is a DXB file?
A .DXB file is an AutoCAD Drawing Exchange Binary Format file. These DXB files contain the geometric description of the drawings created in AutoCAD, a design drafting software. These DXB files allow you to transfer the drawings from AutoCAD to other programs. DXB is the binary form of the DXF file and is used because certain programs did not have the equivalent object types of the CAD drawing.
