What is a ZEL file?

ZEL files mostly belong to ZWCAD. The ZEL file extension is used for different specialized file types.

ZWCAD Encrypted Files: These files are encrypted CAD drawings created by IberCAD. They secure drawing data and need a CAD viewer or ZWCAD to open.

ZIP Archives: Some ZEL files are actually ZIP archives. They contain a compressed SAFECONF module associated with Cleaner.exe. More details can be found on the Pilz website.

Zelio Logic Program Files: Other ZEL files are program files for Zelio Logic, used in control systems and programmed with Zelio Soft 2.
