What is a PD2 file?

PD2 files mostly belong to CLO 3D. PD2 files are used in several specialized fields. They are not one single format but a group of project files that store data for specific software. They can contain different types of information depending on the originating application.
  • CLO3D Pattern Design Files – These files store garment pattern data encoded in UTF-16 (LE) for use with CLO 3D Pattern Design Software. For details, visit CLO3D.
  • eQUEST Project Files – These contain building data used for energy simulations in eQUEST. More info is available at eQUEST.
  • Pharos Designer Show Files – These files hold show setup data for use with Pharos Designer. See Pharos Controls for further details.
  • Techimp Partial Discharge Data Files – Designed for electrical analysis, these files carry partial discharge measurements for Techimp Services PD2 Analyzer. Additional information is on Techimp.
  • PDF Document Version 2 Files – Some PD2 files follow a PDF standard (version 2) and can be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
  • DNA Sequencing Data Files – These store chromatogram and sequencing data used in bioinformatics, for example with DNAMAN or sequencing analysis software from Applied Biosystems. More details are at Applied Biosystems.
  • FilExt.com note: Use the correct software for your file because its content and structure depend on its original application.

    How to open PD2 files

    You need a suitable software like CLO 3D to open a PD2 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 PD2 file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a PD2 file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
