What is a DGK file?

DGK files mostly belong to PowerSHAPE. DGK files are specialized internal CAD model files used mainly by PowerSHAPE.
They hold detailed 3D geometry and configuration data for models that are created and edited within this system.
Key details provided by FilExt.com include:

  • Design Data: Contains precise model geometry and feature definitions.
  • Editing Focus: Meant to be used with PowerSHAPE for in-depth model refinement.
  • Conversion: For wider sharing or viewing outside PowerSHAPE, use export tools to convert to standard CAD formats.

FilExt.com note: This file format is not broadly supported outside its native environment, so opening them usually requires PowerSHAPE or an appropriate conversion utility.

How to open a DGK file

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