What is a VCP file?

VCP files mostly belong to CADD-PRO. VCP files can refer to files used in two distinct systems.
CADD-PRO Design Drawings:
  • These files serve as CAD drawing files used in design applications.
  • They store vector design data and layout details specific to the CADD-PRO system.
  • ClassPad Manager files:
  • They are used by ClassPad II fx-CP400 calculators to hold calculator data and settings.
  • This usage is managed by CP Manager, sometimes called ClassPad Manager.
  • FilExt.com tips: The file format is proprietary, so only the native software will correctly open and display all aspects of these files. For design drawings, the full CADD-PRO application is needed, which you can learn more about at the CADD-PRO website. For files from ClassPad, use the corresponding ClassPad Manager software.

    How can I open a VCP file?

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