To convert other file formats to the "3D Geometry File" file type, you need software like Inivis AC3D or a similar tool.
About AC files
The .AC file extension typically represents a 3D model file created by Inivis AC3D, a lightweight 3D modeling application. These files store 3D geometry, object coordinates, and material properties in a plain-text structure. Alternatively, developer environments use .AC files as configuration scripts for GNU Autoconf, while enterprise accounting systems use them as client databases in CaseWare Working Papers or measurement files in ZEISS GOM Metrology.
Despite their historical use, .AC files present severe usability challenges. The 3D models are confined to niche software ecosystems. You cannot natively view an .AC 3D file on Windows or macOS, and modern web browsers completely ignore them. Furthermore, collaboration is difficult because mainstream 3D applications often require specialized, sometimes outdated, plugins just to import an .AC structure. If your file is a CaseWare database or an ActivePresenter project, it is strictly locked into those respective paid software environments, limiting independent access.
To break free from these restrictions, you must convert the file based on your final goal. For cross-platform 3D editing or 3D printing, convert .AC to standard OBJ or STL files. For web rendering and interactive applications, convert to GLTF. If it is an Autoconf script file, converting to TXT ensures universal readability. Drag and drop your file to analyze and convert it - free, online, and without installing software.
Use Convert.Guru to open and convert your AC file.
If you want to convert AC file to DC, HA, DB, SQLITE, SQLITE3, MDB, ACCDB, DBF, ODB, FDB, GDB or MYD, you can use Inivis AC3D or similar software from the "3D Model & Script File" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert NDF, SQLITE3, BAK, RDB, SQL, DB4, MDF, MDB, LDF, DB, DB3 or SQLITE files to AC, try Inivis AC3D or another comparable tool in the "3D Model & Script File" category.
The AC Converter Story
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our AC converter.
