I have some .dxf files (i think is a CAD file),... Actually illustrator should be open it, but doesn't work. Somebody know how to do??
Better if is in vector... of course.

dxf cad is probably a 3d mesh object

DXF is the AutoCAD format.
Depending on which version of AutoCAD it is it could well be a 3D file. Illustrator I'm not sure about but Freehand will open 2D DXFs
as long as they're not saved above version 11.Also there is an array of conversion tools (generally rather expensive though) which will convert them to bitmaps a;lthough all AutoCad stroke information will get lost as will all hatching normally.

to show you what you have i opened it in lightwave modeler only to realize its already a dxf, so i closed modeler and opened swift 3d, imported the object, turned the camera a little and rendered it as is

the best option is to use AutoCAD obscure dxb printer.
this is a virtual printer that will output a 3dview to a 2d dxb file. You'll have to create one using CAD's plot manager.
Just choose your your view [or go with the original], click hidden edges in the plot window and save the file.
use the edit to import the dxb file to AutoCAD environment and save it as dwg. You can open such format in most vectors tools.
