What is an OBX file?

OBX files mostly belong to pCon.planner. OBX files are not a single file format but a name applied to different data files, each designed for a specific application. The most common OBX file is used by pCon.planner, a tool for office furniture and interior design. This file stores its data in XML, which holds details about furniture components and layouts. You can check more information on the pCon.planner website.
Other OBX variants include:

OceanBase binary file: A file that uses a binary format to hold geospatial or coordinate data. It is linked with GIS operations and sometimes referred to as the GIS Coordinate File Format.

Openbravo module file: A file packaged as a ZIP archive. It serves as an extension package for the Openbravo ERP system. More details are available on the Openbravo webpage.

Samsung Notes file: A Microsoft Compound file that stores note data for Samsung Notes, associated with Neat Office. Visit Neat for further insights.

FilExt.com note: Each OBX file variant uses its internal format (XML, ZIP, binary, or compound) to serve a specific function. This means that the same OBX extension may not be interchangeable between applications. To open an OBX file correctly, use the software that created it or inspect the file in a text editor to determine if it contains readable XML text or compressed/binary data.

How to open OBX files

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

OBX file format:

To view or edit OBX files you need to know the file format, because it determines how the data in this file is stored. The file format can be determined based on the file extension and the signature (the first few characters of a file). 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. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Below is our analysis of the OBX files:

The file type with the extension 'OBX' includes different formats for the applicable programs. The two most popular formats are as follows:

• 55% of all OBX files internally utilize the XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The content consists of readable text data, which can be read using a text editor. The files are on average 65 KB in size and range from 9 KB to 470 KB. The file type is very recent. The files contain the following words: <cutBuffer>, appKey, appVersion, bskXmlVersion, <versionInfo vendorKey='EasternGraphics', sessionId, <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>, bskVersion, <?xml version='1.0'?>, pCon, planner, EAI-Server and state sessionId. Files like these have the following tags: order, project, floor and angebot.
• 10% of all OBX files start with the bytes 03 00 00 00, which are crucial for this file format. They consist of illegible, cryptic characters. The files are 670 bytes to 55 KB in size, with a median of 6 KB. These files are attributed to person-related data.

All other OBX files (35%) have no consistent format, such as ZIP, DOC, 7z and MSH. Files like these are sometimes linked to openbravo, llqbk, referencedata, localization, bridge, retail, optel or point. If you want to find out what your OBX file contains, drag and drop it onto this page.
