Extract text from circuit design files (EWB)
To convert EWB designs to another format, you need NI Multisim or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary Data Archive" file type, you need software like NI Multisim or a similar tool.
The .ewb file extension is heavily overloaded, primarily serving as an Electronics Workbench circuit design file, an e-Sword or EasyWorship Bible module, or a myViewBoard whiteboard lesson. For engineering, .ewb files store schematic layouts and simulation data created by legacy versions of Electronics Workbench (now NI Multisim). For religious organizations, it functions as a database file containing biblical text and presentation layouts. Educators might also encounter .ewb as a compressed whiteboard session from ViewSonic.
Because multiple unrelated programs use the .ewb extension, identifying the correct application is a major headache. The formats are highly proprietary and cannot be natively opened in standard web browsers or word processors. Circuit designs often require legacy software or expensive subscriptions to access, while database modules are locked into specific presentation ecosystems.
If the .ewb is an e-Sword file, it is typically structured as an underlying SQLite database, meaning you can extract the text to CSV or SQL. If it is a whiteboard lesson, it may be a standard ZIP archive containing images and XML data. Circuit designs, however, should ideally be exported to PDF or standard vector formats directly from within the original engineering software to preserve precise electrical paths and symbols.
This file format is difficult to open or convert because generic online converters lack the proprietary rendering engines required to interpret specialized database schemas or proprietary circuit vectors. If our analysis detects an underlying ZIP or SQL structure, viewing or conversion to common data formats may still be possible without the original software.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EWB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted PDF, ZIP, EXE, TXT, DOCX, PKT, ASC, EWL, EWS and EWC2 files.
If you want to convert EWB file to DWG, DXF, DGN, RVT, RFA, SKP, 3DM, STEP, IGES, SAT, X_T or X_B, you can use NI Multisim or similar software from the "Circuit Design & Database Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert SLDASM, DGN, PRT, IAM, X_B, CATPRODUCT, SLDPRT, RVT, ASM, DWG, CATPART or DXF files to EWB, try NI Multisim or another comparable tool in the "Circuit Design & Database Storage" category.
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 EWB converter.
