File Extension | PRT |
Full Name | CAD 3D Part Or Component Format |
Files with PRT suffix are associated with a 3D CAD modeling applications. PRT files store parts or components of larger design projects. Multiple PRT part file can be assembled to create a single ASM file.
File Extension | IGES |
Full Name | Initial Graphics Exchange Specification Format |
IGES is an extension given to files used by CAD graphics design programs. IGES are files that are a data exchange format between applications. This can be information about 2D graphics and 3D models (shapes, dimensions, properties).
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "PRT") to another (referred to as "IGES"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, PRT 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 PRT to format IGES becomes essential.
So, how can we perform PRT to IGES 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 PRT and transforming it into format IGES. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of PRT to IGES 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 PRT to IGES. 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 PRT 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.
