Star Wars Texture/Shader File: In some instances, an SHT file holds texture or shader information for games such as Star Wars: The Old Republic and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. More info can be found at the SWTOR website.

Euromac Punch File: Certain SHT files are used in sheet metal work by TopPunch. They contain data for punching or shaping metal components.

FilExt.com tip: Each version of an SHT file is designed for a specific application. If you come across an SHT file, use the correct software—be it MicroStation, a game tool, or a metal design program—to open and view it.
