Opening a CFI File
The CFI file type is primarily associated with AutoCAD.
What is a CFI file?
CFI files mostly belong to AutoCAD. CFI files are cache files used within computer aided design (CAD) software.
These files are created by applications such as AutoCAD to store pre-processed drawing data. They contain elements like bitmap previews and vector information that help the software redraw complex projects faster.
Key functionalities:They store caching data, often in a structure similar to DDS format. They speed up the reloading and rendering of detailed CAD drawings. They may contain alternate drawing formats, as seen in the alternative description "CADintosh Drawing File" from CADprofi. For more detail on the primary software, visit the AutoCAD webpage.
FilExt.com note: If you have a CFI file, open it using your CAD software. The file is used internally and is usually recreated automatically if lost or deleted.

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

Programs that open and convert CFI files:
- AutoCAD
See the previous paragraphs to learn more about the main application. CFI files are often referred to as AutoCAD cads because this type of file is primarily created or used by this software.
- CleverForm (Script File) by Code Development Ltd.CleverForm provides a turnkey service for online survey requirements. Including: customer satisfaction measurement, market research, product roadmap definition, generation of statistics for PR use. This file format is classified as Source Code.
CFI file format:
Why is it important to know the file format? This is the only way to find out which program to use to open the file. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. 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. Knowledge is power - this also applies when dealing with unknown or faulty files. Below is our analysis of the CFI files:
CFI is rarely used as a file extension and is used by different programs with different formats. However, the following two file formats are common:
- 35% of all CFI files use the same file format, which have the signature Dds Cache File. These files are binary files, so they do not contain text, but only cryptic characters. CFI files can be up to 18 MB in size, but are often around 27 KB - 6 MB. The file type is relatively new. The keywords Dds Cache File, serialization::archive and LayerId are typical for these files. A common filename is vi9901.cfi. Such files are related to grundriss.
All other CFI files (65%) have no consistent format. These files sometimes refer to config, info, disc, filelist, dash or task. Just click the "Choose your .cfi file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your CFI file is.
Technical Data for CFI File Extension
a cfi cache file is a special file format and should only be edited and saved with the appropriate software.
How to solve problems with CFI files
- Associate the CFI file extension with the correct application.
- Update your software that should actually open cache files. Because only the current version supports the latest CFI file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the manufacturer website after an available AutoCAD update.
- To make sure that your CFI file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
