Convert TOP to ENML

Understanding TOP and ENML file formats

TOP files are typically associated with TopSolid, a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software used for mechanical design and manufacturing. These files store 3D models, assemblies, and related design data. ENML stands for Evernote Markup Language, an XML-based format used by Evernote to store notes, including text, images, and formatting.

Why convert TOP to ENML?

Converting a TOP file to ENML is an uncommon workflow, usually required when you want to document or archive CAD designs in Evernote. This process involves extracting relevant information (such as images or descriptions) from the TOP file and embedding it into an ENML note for easy sharing or reference.

How to convert TOP to ENML

There is no direct converter for TOP to ENML due to the different purposes of these formats. However, you can follow these steps:

1. Open your TOP file in TopSolid.
2. Export the desired content (such as a drawing or screenshot) using File → Export → Image or File → Export → PDF.
3. Open Evernote and create a new note.
4. Insert the exported image or PDF into the note.
5. Evernote automatically saves notes in ENML format.

If you need the raw ENML file, you can export your note from Evernote using File → Export Note and select the ENEX format, which contains ENML data.

Best software for the conversion

• TopSolid – for opening and exporting TOP files.
• Evernote – for creating and exporting ENML-based notes.

There are no automated online converters for this specific conversion, so manual export and import is the most reliable method.
