What is a CCE file

CCE files mostly belong to Altium Designer. CCE files are used by several specialized programs to store specific types of data. The most common use is for encrypted PCB design data stored in an XML format. This file format secures details of printed circuit board designs and is used in tools like Altium Designer or Cadence Allegro PCB Designer.
Other uses include:

Calendar Creator Plus Event: These files hold calendar event details and work with CCWin-based software.

Compressed Chess Engine: This variant stores compressed chess engine data and is associated with Casio ClassPad Manager. More details can be found at Casio edu.

Bridge bidding convention: These files contain bridge game bidding rules and are used with Bridge Convention Card Editors like Bridge Baron. Visit Larryco for more info.

FilExt.com tip: Use the appropriate application to open and view your CCE file, as each version has its own structure and encryption to protect its content.
