would be great if you could provide 1 or 2 sample files here.
Sure thing - here's 2 sample files. Note that I wasn't allowed to upload a DXF, so I've made them a .TXT extension. Please change the extension back to DXF to test. Thanks! DXF-Sample 1.dxf.txt DXF-Sample 2.dxf.txt
From what I understand, all of the File Explorer add-ons use WebView2. That means that the previews use a web browser (MS Edge) under the hood, to open the SVG. Since DXF is not a web standard, I think it is unlikely to come into fruition.
That is not true, we are using it for certain things but not everything. Our markdown previewer is an actual application for instance.

I'm sorry, I didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying. ☺
No worries. Preview pane can use a lot of stuff. Also remember a web view 2 control needs to be hosted by an app :)
Would be very helpful if this could be extended for .dxf preview, Thanks.
It would be great if PowerToys could also support DWG files as well. Typically, to open/preview them, we are required to install large CAD packages. These packages also take a lot of time to load the file on startup. So, if Peek can support both DXF and DWG, it will be a great feature.
Bump this, we need support for DXF files. It's an industry standard CAD format, it ought to be supported.
Description of the new feature / enhancement
The addition of SVG file preview has been extremely useful. Could this be expanded to include the DXF vector file format?
Scenario when this would be used?
Current process requires opening heavy supporting apps to preview the vector, such as Autodesk, Inkscape, Corel Draw, Illustrator, etc. Using the same mechanism as SVG file preview would offer similar benefits.
Supporting information
DXF is an open-source vector file format created and supported by Autodesk.
