What is a RIT file?

RIT files mostly belong to Multiple Applications. If you encounter a RIT file, know that its content and use depend on the originating application.

  • ALS Prolog source code: Some RIT files contain Prolog code. In certain cases they are also linked to a raster image file format, which means the text may be interleaved with image data.
  • Tecnomatix/CAD files: Other versions are used in industrial design. They can be Tecnomatix files (with an internal format called Source2) and are sometimes known as MicroStation Redline files. These hold drawing data used in engineering environments.
  • Embroidery design files: A group of RIT files stores embroidery designs. They appear either as a raster image file for embroidery or as a machine embroidery design file, as seen with products from Ritm and MTS CamModul.

FilExt.com tips: To view a RIT file, you must use the right software. For source code, a text editor or Prolog IDE may work. For CAD or redline files, try Tecnomatix or MicroStation PowerDraft. For embroidery designs, specialized embroidery software is needed. Check the file properties or use file-specific documentation to choose the correct tool.

How to open a RIT file

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