File Extension | TEC |
Full Name | Tecplot ASCII Data Format |
Files with the .TEC extension contain a compiled version of mapped text. Before the text is compiled, the mapping is stored in a MAP-type file in the form of pure text. The files are generated by TECkit software, which stands for Text Encoding Conversion toolkit.
File Extension | LPK |
Full Name | ArcGIS Layer Package Format |
Files with the LPK extension are associated with a geographic information system (GIS) called ArcGIS. LPK is a file used to store a map layer or even a globe containing specific data. The LPK layer file most often contains data on a specific topic.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "TEC") to another (referred to as "LPK"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, TEC 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 TEC to format LPK becomes essential.
So, how can we perform TEC to LPK 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 TEC and transforming it into format LPK. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of TEC to LPK 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 TEC to LPK. 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 TEC 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.
