Convert GXD to GCD

Understanding GXD and GCD file formats

GXD files are typically associated with General CADD Pro, a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software used for creating and editing technical drawings. The GXD format is a proprietary drawing file format used by General CADD Pro for storing design data, layers, and drawing elements.

GCD files are also related to General CADD Pro. The GCD format is the native drawing file format for this software, often used for saving finalized or standard project files. Converting from GXD to GCD is typically required for compatibility or archival purposes within the General CADD ecosystem.

How to convert GXD to GCD

Since both GXD and GCD are proprietary formats of General CADD Pro, the most reliable way to perform this conversion is by using the General CADD Pro software itself. Here’s how you can convert a GXD file to a GCD file:

1. Open General CADD Pro on your computer.
2. Go to File → Open and select your GXD file.
3. Once the file is open, go to File → Save As.
4. In the save dialog, choose GCD as the file type.
5. Enter a file name and click Save.

This process will create a new GCD file from your original GXD drawing.

Best software for GXD to GCD conversion

The best and most reliable software for converting GXD to GCD is General CADD Pro itself. As both formats are proprietary, third-party converters are not recommended or may not support all features and data contained in the files. Always use the official software to ensure full compatibility and data integrity.

Summary

To convert GXD files to GCD, use General CADD Pro and the File → Save As function. This ensures your drawings are preserved accurately in the native GCD format.
