- Description
- The CAD file type, associated with Autodesk QuickCAD, specifically refers to a thumbnail image file. These thumbnail files serve as small, visual previews of the larger, more detailed CAD (Computer-Aided Design) drawings created within the QuickCAD software. They are used for quickly identifying and navigating through multiple CAD files by providing a visual snapshot of the content without the need to open the full drawing. This feature enhances user efficiency and file management in design and drafting projects.
- Windows vector graphics format recognized by many image-editing applications; basically a 32-bit version of the original Windows Metafile Format (.WMF), which only supports 16-bit data; saves image data in an RGB format and does not support CMYK data.
