What is a TDI file

TDI files mostly belong to Textile Design Software. An TDI file is a specialized data file that may follow different formats depending on the software that created it.
For example, one common use is as a textile design image file. This version is used in design applications to store fabric patterns and color layouts. Other variants include the following:
  • RFID Tag Data File / Textile Design Interchange: A version that may use an executable (EXE) format to embed RFID tag information for tracking or integrating textile designs.
  • SGI Image File: A format sometimes used by graphic software like Maya. This variant can also be known as a ThunderScan image file (ILBM format). For more details on Maya, visit Autodesk Maya Overview.
  • Toshiba Disc Image File: Used by Toshiba DiscImage and related utilities such as DiscJuggler for disc imaging tasks.
  • Technical Drawing Image: An XML-based file used by applications like Mavericks Pro (also known as the Teuchos Drawing Image file) to store technical drawing data.
    • FilExt.com tip: The file’s function is defined by its origin. To open and view a TDI file, check details like its internal format (for example, EXE or XML) or the software brand associated with it.
