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.

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.

Programs that open and convert DGK files:
- PowerSHAPE
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. DGK files are often referred to as PowerSHAPE cads because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
- Delcam Powershape/Powermill(3D CAD)
DGK file extension format:
If you can determine the file format, the associated program can also be determined. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. Nonetheless, different programs can utilize the same file extension to represent distinct file formats. Double-clicking on the file often results in an error when opening. If there are problems opening a file, you must first determine the file format used. Below is our analysis of the DGK files:
DGK is not that commonly used as a file extension. This file type predominantly uses a uniform format. The two most common formats are as follows:
- 95% of all DGK files are ArtCAM vector model files. The content consists of illegible binary data, which can only be read and interpreted by the associated programs. The average file size is 800 KB with most files being between 54 KB and 4 MB in size. The file type was developed 10 years ago and is still in use today. The files contain the following words: Version, Node, System: Microsoft (R) Windows NT (TM), Architecture, Comment: mm, Name: PowerSHAPE, Release: 0. 0, System version: 0 and Intel. Files like these are sometimes connected to model, sole, large, piece and size.
All the rest of the DGK files (5%) have different formats. Drag & drop your file here to see the file format and a preview of your DGK file!

How to solve problems with DGK files
- Associate the DGK file extension with the correct application.
- Update your software that should actually open cad files. Because only the current version supports the latest DGK file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available PowerSHAPE update.
- To make sure that your DGK file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
