Extract text from projects or calendar files (CC5)
To convert CC5 files to another format, you need Climate Consultant or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Project Data File" file type, you need software like Climate Consultant or a similar tool.
The .CC5 file extension primarily represents a Climate analysis project file used by Climate Consultant. It is also used as a Calendar data file by the legacy Broderbund Calendar Creator software. These files store user-specific environmental parameters, climate charts, or structured calendar events depending on their origin.
Users often need to convert .CC5 files because they rely on highly specialized or outdated software. Climate Consultant requires specific setup and underlying weather data files to run, while Broderbund Calendar Creator is a legacy application that requires a paid license and is prone to compatibility issues on modern operating systems. Both variations are proprietary. They cannot be natively previewed in web browsers, standard text editors, or universal document viewers. This strict software dependency makes sharing climate models or family calendars with clients and relatives extremely frustrating.
When extracting data, the best target formats are PDF for sharing visual charts and print-ready calendars, or CSV for raw event data. Converting to these universal formats ensures complete cross-platform readability, though you will permanently lose the ability to edit the original project parameters, layout templates, or recurring event rules.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open or convert because it is a closed, proprietary data container. Often only the original software can properly read or export the data. Just drag and drop your file to identify the format, view it, and convert it when possible. Standard online converters fail to process it because it lacks public documentation. However, convert.guru can still identify the file format, inspect the file, and show text or internal content. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format - such as the Microsoft Compound structure used by Calendar Creator - viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CC5 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted CE3, WNS and BDM files.

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 CC5 converter.
