About ATC files

An .ATC file most commonly serves as an AutoCAD Tool Palette Catalog or an AliveCor ECG Data File. In Autodesk AutoCAD, it stores palette configurations and custom UI toolset metadata, often structured in standard XML. Meanwhile, AliveCor KardiaMobile uses .ATC to securely store electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform data. Additionally, this extension is used by Hibara Attache Case for encrypted file containers, Aspen Calc for calculation documents, and the Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT) for encrypted electronic notifications.

Because .ATC serves multiple, entirely unrelated software environments, identifying the correct application is a major headache. The files are highly proprietary and useless outside their original ecosystems. AutoCAD palette files cannot be easily shared between different CAD systems. AliveCor data is locked to specific medical viewing tools, making it impossible to share with healthcare providers in its raw form. Encrypted tax or Attache Case files require specific decryption keys and passwords to access, locking you out if you lose the credentials.

To overcome these limits, conversion or extraction is often necessary. For AutoCAD files, converting to XML or TXT allows developers to edit the palette configurations in standard text editors. For AliveCor ECG data, converting to PDF is essential for sharing medical records, or CSV for raw data analysis. Autotask attachment packages are standard ZIP archives renamed to .ATC, meaning you can simply extract them.

Convert.Guru analyzes your ATC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted ACT, PDF, DOCX, ACTION, TTP, VTU and D83 files.


FAQ

If you want to convert ATC file to INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, ENV, PROPERTIES or RC, you can use AutoCAD or similar software from the "Settings & Encrypted Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to ATC, try AutoCAD or another comparable tool in the "Settings & Encrypted Data Storage" category.



The ATC 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 ATC converter.
