V5 Drawing file |
| .CATProduct |
V5 Assembly file |
| .Model |

|
Pro-E files (must be opened by version created by or newer)
|
| .prt.x (x denotes a number) |
Part (geometry) file |
| .drw.x |
Drawing file |
| .asm.x |
Assembly file |

|
SolidWorks files (must be opened by version created by or newer)
|
| .sldprt |

| |
|
AutoCad files (must be opened by version created by or newer)
|
| .dwg |
Part (geometry or drawing) file |
| .dxf |
Drawing Exchange format |
| |
|
Other CAD package files (import only)
|
| .prt |
Unigraphics II : solid part file |
| .ipt |
Inventor : solid part file |
| .par |
Solid Edge : solid part file |
| .ct |
Catia : part file |
| |
|
Import/Export file formats (can usually be exchanged between different platforms)
|
| .igs (iges) |
Typically used for wireframe or solid part geometries |
| .dxf |
flat drawings or simple geometries |
| .stp (step) |
for exchanging assemblies; maintains components within file |
| .sat |
for exchanging parts or assemblies; maintains solid geometry |
| .x_t, .x_b, .xmt_txt, .xmt_bin |
Parasolid files; robust translator of solid parts & assemblies |
| |
| We can also import a large variety of less mainstream files such as: .set, .vda, .neu, ,.cdm, .pdg, .cgm, .stl, .wrl, .mdb, .neu, .icn, .bin |
| |
| Most CAD packages can import and export .dxf and .igs formats. Sometimes the .dwg format can be used as an import/export file, although this is typically created by AutoCad, and is specific to the version. |
