Opening a PE File
The PE file type is primarily associated with PROFIS Engineering Suite.
What is a PE file
PE files mostly belong to PROFIS Engineering Suite. A PE file can mean two different things depending on the context.
PROFIS Engineering File: This file type is used by the PROFIS Engineering Suite. It stores project data in XML or JSON format. Such files hold design and layout information for engineering projects. You can get more details from the Hilti website or check related resources like the PETSCII Editor page. Portable Executable File: This use of the PE extension refers to a binary file that runs as a program on Windows. These files follow the Portable Executable format and can be managed with tools such as PE Explorer. More information is available on the Microsoft Windows webpage. FilExt.com tip: If you have a PE file, first check if it opens as text (XML/JSON) or if it behaves like a program. Always use the appropriate application for viewing or running the file and verify its source.
How to open PE files
You need a suitable software like PROFIS Engineering Suite to open a PE 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 PE file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a PE file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
