What is a file extension?

Short answer: it's the set of letters after the period (.) in the name of a file.

Long answer: File extensions signify the file format of a file. It tells the operating system (OS) how data was stored in the file. Not all OS, require a file extension though. For instance, this is optional in Unix, but is mandatory with MS-DOS and Windows systems.

In most file formats the file type is actually defined by the contents (first bytes, file structure), but extensions are used to define the application that is used for opening the file.

Below is a detailed database of thousands of file extensions our team has compiled for you. Feel free to browse!

PCF - Extension Details

File Extension:  .PCF
Description 1: File extension .PCF stands for packaged collaboration files. These files enable Solid Edges managed collaboration capabilities. PCFs allow the sharing of multiple documents in one collaborative environment while seeing to it that users never work with outofdate info. With this novel idea, multiple documents from various sources may be packaged into one file. Combos of CAD and nonCAD documents like pdf and MS Office, are accessible using Insight Connect or sent through email to anyone seeking to review the info. The .PCF files retain original links to the CAD documents and include all info needed to not just view data but also manage and execute changes borne of the collaborative process.
