File Extension | SCH |
Full Name | CAD Schematics Format |
SCH is a CAD file format used by many different applications. SCH files store graphics data describing electrical circuits and connections among circuit elements in a simplified and standardized form.
File Extension | CIR |

CIR is a legacy CAD file format associated with EDAbase, a PCB design software and CIR files are used to store project data.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "SCH") to another (referred to as "CIR"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, SCH 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 SCH to format CIR becomes essential.
So, how can we perform SCH to CIR 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 SCH and transforming it into format CIR. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of SCH to CIR 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 SCH to CIR. 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 SCH 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.
