Neutral file exchange uses an intermediary neutral format to translate data between CAD systems. This method starts from a pre-processor embedded in the original CAD system, which generates the neutral file from the originating CAD format. The target CAD system post-processes the neutral file and converts it into the target native format. [7]
ODB++ is a proprietary CAD-to-CAM data exchange format [1] used in the design and manufacture of electronic devices. Its purpose is to exchange printed circuit board design information between design and manufacturing and between design tools from different EDA/ECAD vendors. [2]
The EMN File contains the PCB outline, the position of the parts, positions of holes and milling, keep out regions and keep in regions. The EMP file contains the outline and height of the parts. Some CAD software allows the use of a map file to load more detailed part models.

TranslateCAD reads and writes DXF files, supporting AutoCAD versions from r14 through 2010. DWG files are not supported directly, although the user may use the Save-as menu within AutoCAD in order to export the drawings to be translated into DXF format. Alternatively, there are a number of shareware or freeware tools that perform this task.
The table below provides an overview of notable computer-aided design (CAD) software. It does not judge power, ease of use, or other user-experience aspects. The table does not include software that is still in development (beta software).
IntelliCAD versions that work with BIM files added choosing the IFC4 or IFC4x3 schema when exporting to .ifc files, and display properties for AEC styles. IntelliCAD versions that natively work with DGN files added attaching cell library (.cel) files, using the Explorer command to work with layouts and text styles, and snapping to geometric ...
Caddie initially used its own proprietary file format .DRW (binary) and an ASCII .CEX (Caddie Exchange format). Caddie could also import and export native AutoCad .DWG and .DXF file formats, but since version 10, Caddie rewrote its core kernels and now uses as native file format OpenDWG. [11] Version 10 was released in March 2005. [12]
