What is a PFG file?

PFG files mostly belong to Atlas Copco ToolsNet8. PFG files are used in different specialized systems for storing technical data.

  • Tightening Data: They act as torque graph files that store data from tightening operations. This format is used by Atlas Copco ToolsNet8 from Atlas Copco, where the file holds specific measurements from power-focused tightening processes.
  • Game Animation: In game development, a PFG file can contain 2D character animation or sprite animation data. This use is common with projects built in Game Maker Studio.
  • 3D Printing Metrics: Another use is as a 3D printer file that holds printer font metrics or layout details, sometimes described as a Printer Friendly Format file. This variation is associated with PrintForm Graphics.
  • FilExt.com note: Each file is tailored to the internal needs of its respective system, meaning that the right software is required to open and use its data correctly.
