What is file format conversion?

File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "AEC") to another (referred to as "DLF"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, AEC file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format AEC to format DLF becomes essential.

So, how can we perform AEC to DLF file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format AEC and transforming it into format DLF. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of AEC to DLF converters.

How to convert the AEC file to DLF?

If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of AEC to DLF. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the AEC file:

  • Please indicate on your computer the source file AEC, the format of which you are going to change
  • Load the AEC file to the application
  • Select the output format of the DLF file (the one that we want to achieve)
  • Select the location to save the output file DLF on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
  • Confirm conversion
  • Wait for a moment
  • Enjoy the converted DLF file that can be found in the location selected in step 4
I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?

File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
