To open a DXB file, select File → Open in the Duxbury Braille Translator. Navigate to your file, and click Open. A DXB file contains braille text, code and styles. It is a working Duxbury file that can only be opened in DBT. Similar to a .DXP file that contains print instead of braille.
A .DXB file extension stores CAD drawings in a binary drawing exchange format. It is used by AutoCAD to store 3D drawings such as building and landscape designs. DXB files are smaller and load faster than text-based DXF files. But DXB files are not as compatible with other programs.
Use AutoCAD to open .DXB files. To export, use AutoCAD to convert DXB files to other CAD formats. DXB files mostly belong to the Duxbury Braille Translator by Duxbury Systems. The .DXB file contains the braille translation of a .DXP file.
To open a DXB file, you need suitable software like the Duxbury Braille Translator. Without proper software, you may see an error that Windows cannot open the file. To fix this, right-click the DXB file and choose Open with to select a compatible application. You can also display a DXB file directly in your browser.
DXB is a binary CAD drawing exchange format used by AutoCAD. It is also an embossed braille format used by the Duxbury Braille Translator. To open and use DXB files, it helps to understand these different applications. AutoCAD uses DXB to share CAD drawing data with other programs. The Duxbury Braille Translator uses DXB to store braille text and formatting.

DXB is a binary version of DXF file format. The DXF format is used for exchanging CAD drawings between software apps. DXB files store 2D vector graphics like DXF. However, DXB files are more compact and load faster than DXF files. This is because DXB files are stored in binary format instead of plain text. To create a DXB file, export drawing in DXB format using a CAD program. This generates a binary file readable by CAD programs supporting DXB. To import a DXB file, a CAD program can read the binary data. It then converts it into its own format for editing.
Autodesk defined the DXB format standard. DXB files are supported by Windows software. DXB files belong to the Vector Image Files category. The most popular DXB supporting software is AutoCAD. On Autodesk’s website is info about DXB and other formats it supports.
These DXB files contain geometric descriptions of AutoCAD drawings. DXB files transfer drawings from AutoCAD to other programs. DXB is the binary DXF file. It is used as some programs lack equivalent CAD drawing object types.
To open a DXB file in Duxbury Braille Translator, select File → Open. Note DXP files contain print instead of braille. Duxbury MegaDots is discontinued.
Over 400 file formats can be opened with File Viewer Plus. Popular Windows software supporting DXB includes CAD.Plus and AutoCAD. DXB stores 3D CAD drawings made by AutoCAD. DXB loads faster than text-based DXF but is less compatible.
Online DXB apps allow viewing, editing, converting, merging, splitting, and comparing DXB files without installing anything.
