Extract text from Cabinet Vision jobs (CVJ)
To convert CVJ jobs to another format, you need Hexagon Cabinet Vision or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "CAD CAM Job File" file type, you need software like Hexagon Cabinet Vision or a similar tool.
The .CVJ file is a proprietary job file created by Hexagon Cabinet Vision. It stores 3D room layouts, cabinet design specifications, material lists, and CNC routing data used heavily in the woodworking and manufacturing industries.
These files are built to be opened specifically by Cabinet Vision software. Under the hood, they utilize the Microsoft Compound file structure to organize and store complex hierarchical manufacturing data, 3D geometry, and textures within a single archive.
The main disadvantage of the .CVJ format is its highly proprietary nature. It requires an expensive, specialized CAD/CAM software license to open, view, or edit. You cannot open a .CVJ file in a web browser, standard vector editors, or general 3D modelers like Blender. This creates a massive bottleneck when sharing cabinet designs with clients, architects, or non-manufacturing partners who do not have the software.
Users typically need to convert .CVJ files to universally accessible formats like PDF for 2D floor plans, elevations, and material lists, or DXF and DWG for sharing geometric data with standard CAD programs like AutoCAD. When converting to these standard formats, manufacturing-specific parametric data, such as CNC toolpaths and intelligent hardware rules, is permanently lost.
Because .CVJ is a closed, proprietary format, standard online converters consistently fail to process it. Only the original software can properly read or export the full CAD and CAM data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your CVJ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted SVG, BPP, PNC and XEJ 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 CVJ converter.
