File Extension | PCB |
Full Name | Printed Circuit Board Format |
PCB file format was developed for purposes related to electronics. PCB is a text file that stores a project of printed circuit board. The solution guarantees proper board layout and connections between the board’s components.
File Extension | PCBDOC |
Full Name | Printed Circuit Board Description |
PCBDOC is a filename extension used for files created by Altium Designer, a software package for designing printed board circuits and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA). The package also includes simulation and analysis tools.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "PCB") to another (referred to as "PCBDOC"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, PCB file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format PCB to format PCBDOC becomes essential.
So, how can we perform PCB to PCBDOC file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format PCB and transforming it into format PCBDOC. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of PCB to PCBDOC converters.
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of PCB to PCBDOC. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the PCB file:
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
