CAL files are associated with 3ds Max, a 3D animation and modelin software package. What kind of data do CAL files store? Files with CAL extension contain information for model poses.
File with DXF extension contains project data for AutoCAD vector image; it is similar to DWG format, but is stores data in more data exchange-friendly form at. Initially DXF files stored data in ASCII text, but now it also support binary format.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the CAL file after converting to DXF may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from CAL to DXF to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting CAL to DXF does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in CAL format, properly converted to a DXF file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file CAL the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of CAL file to other than DXF. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your CAL file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to DXF on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the CAL file in its original format (without conversion to DXF file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
