The DFM file extension is associated with applications developed by Autodesk, including AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D and related Autodesk products.
A DFM file stores settings specific to a drawing. Its ASCII text format allows its contents to be viewed as plain text, but the file is intended to be used within an Autodesk application rather than as a general-purpose drawing file.
Open the file with Autodesk apps, including Autodesk Civil 3D, to use its drawing-specific settings.
Because a DFM file is stored as ASCII text, it can also be viewed in a text editor. Manual editing should be avoided unless the setting format is understood.
There is no standard conversion for DFM files. They store application settings rather than drawing data, so they are not normally converted to another file format.
