Opening an AAT File
The AAT file type is primarily associated with ArchiCAD.
What is an AAT file?
AAT files mostly belong to ArchiCAD. AAT files are used by ArchiCAD to store attribute data. They come in two forms: one is an Attribute Manager File that holds active attribute settings for a project, and the other is an Attribute Manager Template that provides preset configurations for new projects.
These files control how object attributes (such as colors, materials, and other properties) are defined and applied within the design. They are part of a proprietary internal format and are meant to be used only with ArchiCAD. Manual edits outside of ArchiCAD can corrupt the file and affect project consistency.

FilExt.com tip: Using ArchiCAD to open and manage these files is important. They are not designed for viewing or editing in standard text editors, and it is wise to keep backups before making any changes.
How to open an AAT file
You need a suitable software like ArchiCAD to open an AAT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your AAT file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a AAT file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
