- 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.
- A JPEG file is an image saved in a compressed graphic format standardized by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG). It supports up to 24-bit color and is compressed using lossy compression, which may noticeably reduce the image quality if high amounts of compression are used. JPEG files are commonly used for storing digital photos and web graphics.
