The DXF format was designed by Autodesk so they would have a 
way to upgrade the AutoCAD files when upgrading the 
software from the DOS days.  Autodesk did for 
Engineering/Design what Microsoft did for the personal 
computer.  AutoCAD became the industry standard along with 
DXF becoming one of the industry standards for converting 
files to another format to use with another CAD or CAM or 
CAE system.  But it was originally for internal use by 
users of AutoCAD.  The DXF format is actually a properitary 
copyrighted format of Autodesk.
