- 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 PNG file is an image file stored in the Portable Network Graphic (PNG) format. It contains a bitmap of indexed colors and uses lossless compression, similar to a .GIF file but without copyright limitations. PNG files are commonly used to store graphics for web images.
