Autodesk Geometry Format (AGF) is Autodesk's extended version of the Well Known Binary Format (WKB).

WKB is a memory layout used to store geometry used by GIS applications.

Most pieces of the original specification defining the WKB format are in the document, 99-050.pdf, the OpenGIS Simple feature specification for OLE/COM that can be found at www.opengis.org.
