What is a PSET file?

PSET files mostly belong to Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D. Each PSET file holds specific settings used by different applications. It can work in two ways:

ZIP format: This version contains design configuration data. It is used in files such as the OpenRoads Designer file, which supports infrastructure and road design. Software like Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D (see Autodesk Civil 3D) and Bentley MicroStation drawings can work with these settings.

XML format: This variant stores PDF configuration details. It is used as a PDF settings file by Adobe Acrobat Pro and by macOS Preview or Adobe Acrobat Reader. More on this is available at Adobe Acrobat.

FilExt.com tip: This file is a container for parameters and preferences. Its internal structure is set to serve the needs of design or PDF management tasks.

How to open a PSET file

You need a suitable software like Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D to open a PSET 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 PSET file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a PSET file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
