Extract text from Electronics Workbench projects (EWPRJ)
To convert EWPRJ projects to another format, you need Ultiboard or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "PCB Layout Project" file type, you need software like Ultiboard or a similar tool.
The .EWPRJ file is a proprietary project container generated by National Instruments software, specifically the legacy Electronics Workbench suite and its successor, Ultiboard. This file acts as the central hub for Printed Circuit Board (PCB) designs, linking schematic capture data with board layout specifications.
A common issue for users is the rigid ecosystem lock-in; an .EWPRJ file is not a standalone document but a project manager that requires the specific version of the original software environment to interpret correctly. It cannot be opened by standard CAD tools like AutoCAD or open-source viewers without conversion. Furthermore, older project files may be incompatible with modern Multisim workflows, leaving valuable engineering data inaccessible.
For manufacturing, the industry standard is the Gerber format. Users typically need to convert .EWPRJ contents to Gerber RS-274X for fabrication or NC Drill files for machining. For documentation and archival purposes, converting the visual layout to PDF or DXF allows for viewing without an expensive CAD license.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EWPRJ file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted BOD, CA4 and WTP files.
If you want to convert EWPRJ file to INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, ENV, PROPERTIES or RC, you can use Ultiboard or similar software from the "PCB Design Project Management" 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 EWPRJ, try Ultiboard or another comparable tool in the "PCB Design Project Management" 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 EWPRJ converter.
