DXF file contains the information which cannot be read and understood by a normal user. This paper explains that how we can extract data from DXF file and convert it into a graphical format and tabular format. It also explains manufacturing feature recognition of a rotational component using DXF file. Feature recognition integrates two independent systems: CAD and CAPP.CAD files contain detail geometric information of a part. In this work geometric information of a rotational part is translated into manufacturing information through a DXF.A feature recognition algorithm is used to recognize different features of the part from its DXF file where geometric information of the part is stored after respective DXF codes. Finally, using the data extracted from DXF file, each feature of the part is recognized.
