Officially supported CAD File Formats
PCB file extension Information that help open, edit, and convert.PCB file. When there is a problem with opening files with the extension.PCB you do not need to immediately use the services of the IT expert. In most cases, using the helpful suggestions of experts contained in our website as well as appropriate programs you can solve the problem with the.PCB file. We have developed a universal file format BXL that can translate to many different CAD tools. BXLs contain data on parts including schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and 3D models (where supported) and can be converted on our website in to your choice of over 20 CAD formats.
- Once you are happy with your traces, double-check the routes, and save the PCB file. Step 4: 3D Preview and Gerber Files. You can see how the product will look after production before generating the PCB files (also known as Gerber files). Open the 3D viewer in EasyEDA by clicking on the camera icon in the top bar and selecting “3D viewer”.
- When you finish your PCB, you can output the Fabrication Files(gerber file) via: File Generate PCB Fabrication File(Gerber), or Fabrication PCB Fabrication File(Gerber). After clicking, will open the Gerber generate dialog: You can calculate the price for the PCB order, click SAVE to CART will go to JLCPCB and add your PCB in the cart.

BXLs contain data on parts including schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and 3D models (where supported) and can be converted on our website in to your choice of over 20 CAD formats.
Many of our IC partners offer BXL files for their components directly on their websites. Once you have obtained a BXL file it is quick and easy to convert to your preferred CAD format through our online BXL conversion tool.
Access to vendor-neutral data that can be exported to over 20 different CAD formats:
- Accel EDA 14 & 15
- DesignSpark
- Mentor Graphics BoardStation
- Mentor Graphics Design Architect

No, you can convert unlimited BXL files for free.
Am I able to edit/modify BXL files?
Yes, you are able to edit and modify BXL files with our Desktop Software. Learn more about our Desktop Software options.
Are you able to choose multiple export formats for one BXL?
Yes, you can export a maximum of 5 different formats in one session.
Am I able to edit/modify parts after exporting them into my CAD format?
Yes, you have complete freedom to edit the outputs in your native cad tools.
Do BXL files support 3D STEP models?
Yes if the vendor has chosen to include 3D models in the vendor neutral file you will receive them in the export.
Our desktop software allows you to author your own schematic symbols, PCB footprints, and 3D STEP models. Start with a template or from scratch and build parts to your company's particular specifications. Cross-probe between symbols and footprints to ensure accuracy, perform batch design rule checks, and export to over 20 different CAD formats.
