What is an ATL file?

ATL files mostly belong to Artlantis by Abvent. A file with ATL file extension is a high-resolution 3D image created with Abvent's Artlantis Studio or Artlantis Render. An ATL file is primarily used to store 3D scenes but it can also contain virtual reality objects, panoramas, surfaces, and much more. The ATL file extension is also used for storing atlas documents used to improve the performance of business systems that use PROGNOSIS. A third use case of ATL file extension is with B&B Electronics' AutoTap software which stores automobile diagnostics data created by a car's control unit in an ATL file. A legacy package known as ATP Assembler programming language stores program source code in ATL files. On Windows platforms, screen readers like Dolphin's Hal can save program data in ATL files.

How can I open an ATL file?

You need a suitable software like Artlantis to open an ATL 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 ATL file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a ATL file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

ATP (Assembler Source) by Brancepeth Computer Publications
ATP Assembler is an integrated code editor and debugger that provided an interface for writing low level code of the ATP Assembler programming language used by various processors. The source code written with this tool is stored in a file with ATL extension and interpreted by the Assembler Training Program. This file format is classified as Developer.

AutoTap (Log File) by B&B Electronics
AutoTap is a Windows-based application used for checking car diagnostics data. To do this, AutoTap connects the special OBD II (CAN) plug-in-port on or under the dash of your car or light truck to your computer. This file format is classified as Data.
PROGNOSIS (Atlas document file) by Integrated Research
:PROGNOSIS is an enterprise application software used to monitor the performance of business-critical systems for the purpose of making appropriate optimizations that would improve performance. On Windows computers, PROGNOSIS stores its atlas file in ATL format. This file format is classified as Data.
ScreenReader (application data file) by Dolphin
ScreenReader is a customizable screen reader that allows blind, visually impaired, or dyslexic persons to easily use sofware programs like browsers and Microsoft Office on different platforms. Dolphin originally developed Hal for this purpose but Hal has been completely replaced by ScreenReader by the same manufacturer. This file format is classified as Data.

ATL file format:

To view or edit ATL files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Our analysis of the ATL files produces the following result:

An ATL file includes a lot of different file formats for different programs. However, the following two file formats are common:

20% of all ATL files use the same file format, which have the signature #__AW_Repository_Version. The content consists of readable text data, which can be read using a text editor. ATL files can be up to 20 MB in size, but are often around 40 KB - 2 MB. The file type is a fairly new file format. Certain words are almost always found in the files, such as __AW_Product_Version, __AW_Repository_Version, #__AW_ATL_Locale 'eng_us.utf-8';, ActaName_2, RDate, AlGUIComment ("ActaName_1", RSavedAfterCheckOut and ActaValue_1. Such files sometimes refer to load, rldm, export, master, conv, mart and ncts.
15% of all ATL files belong to Artlantis 3D scene. The files are using the common file format XML. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The contents of these files can even be read by a human. ATL files are between 2 MB and 210 MB in size. The files contain the following words: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, Atl library, safe_version, <Atl.File>, <?Application name="Artlantis", Preview and file="5.0" min_version="5.1.0".

The remaining 65% of all ATL files are files with no common format, the following 8 formats exist: DOC and Auto. Files like these are sometimes linked to license, audit, outer, space, trail or aydspltjm. If you want to find out which format your ATL file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .atl file to analyze".
