File Extension | VDA |
Full Name | Truevision Targa Bitmap Image |
VDA files are used to store graphics in the form of bitmaps. Data in VDA files are saved using the TARGA format, which was developed by Truevision. Originally, this format was used for TARGA and VISTA graphics cards. These devices were the first to support the high color and true color standards.
File Extension | STP |
Full Name | ISO-10303 STEP Product Data Format |
The extension .stp refers to files of the type Step 3D CAD files. These are the proprietary files created by the graphics and modeling software, Step 3d which is used for CAD (computer aided design) purposes.
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "VDA") to another (referred to as "STP"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, VDA 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 VDA to format STP becomes essential.
So, how can we perform VDA to STP 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 VDA and transforming it into format STP. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of VDA to STP 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 VDA to STP. 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 VDA 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.
