What is an AIDF file?

AIDF files mostly belong to AIDA. The AIDF file is a container that holds German construction data using a ZIP-based format.
It is used by the AIDA company to archive project details and sometimes appears as the LabVIEW Data Interchange Format in data exchange setups.
You can inspect its contents by doing the following:
  • Extract: Use any ZIP archive tool to open the file.
  • View: Open the extracted files with AIDA software or LabVIEW for proper interpretation.
    • FilExt.com tip: If needed, you may also rename the file extension to .zip to explore its internal structure.

    How to open an AIDF file

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

    AIDF file format:

    The file format determines how the data is stored in the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the AIDF files looks like this:

    The AIDF file ending predominantly uses a uniform format. The two most common formats are as follows:
