Tailor Made Software's® AutoXchange 2008™ (also known as AX2008) is a command-line interface application designed to convert AutoCAD .DWG and .DXF-format files into a wide variety of formats including AutoDesk's Drawing Web Format (DWF), Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), JPEG, GIF, PNG and about 50 other formats. It supports any version of AutoCAD up through AutoCAD 2009.
DXF is employed as the most-commonly used file format for transfer between CAD systems. As such, almost all CAD systems can produce or read it. This support by a wide range of CAD systems provides a mechanism for plot image-based file transfer from almost all CAD systems to the supported output formats.
AutoXchange can be installed and utilized on any server that utilizes one of the following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows Vista
Microsoft Windows XP
Microsoft Windows Server 2000, 2003 or 2008
Microsoft Windows NT (4.0) or 2000
Windows 95 or 98
Sun Solaris (v7.51 or later)
Red Hat Linux (v6.1 or later)
If need arises, AX2008 can also be utilized via a scripting application to manually convert single files or batches of files.
