Extract text from CAXA CAD or Evernote files (EXB)
To convert EXB files to another format, you need CAXA CAD or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "Proprietary CAD Drawing" file type, you need software like CAXA CAD or a similar tool.
The .EXB file extension primarily acts as a proprietary 2D/3D CAD drawing file generated by CAXA CAD, a popular Chinese engineering software suite, or as project data for EPLAN Electric P8. Alternatively, Evernote utilizes the .EXB format as a local SQLite-based database to store notes and user metadata on your hard drive.
The biggest disadvantage of the .EXB format is its severe proprietary lock-in. For engineering professionals, sharing a CAXA or EPLAN file with colleagues using standard tools like AutoCAD or SolidWorks is incredibly frustrating. Without native export tools, the file is virtually useless, and buying a dedicated software license just to view a single document is a highly inefficient workaround. For Evernote users, the .EXB format is an undocumented SQL structure, which prevents you from simply opening and reading your notes with standard text editors.
To overcome these collaboration roadblocks, CAD-based .EXB files should be converted to universal industry standards like DWG, DXF, or PDF. If you are trying to extract data from an Evernote .EXB file, converting the database tables into CSV, JSON, or TXT is the most practical solution.
Because .EXB is a strictly closed format, standard online converters frequently fail to process it. Usually, only the original CAXA or EPLAN software can properly read the geometry and export the data without causing corruption. Our analysis engine can inspect the underlying Microsoft Compound file structure of CAXA documents or the SQL framework of Evernote databases. If our system detects a supported embedded format, viewing or extracting the text and data may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your EXB file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DWG, PDF, BAK, EXP, NCM, DXF, ZIP, 123C, ACAD, RAR, XLSX, MPKG and BRU files.
If you want to convert EXB file to DWG, PDF, DXF, DGN, RVT, RFA, SKP, 3DM, STEP, IGES, SAT or X_T, you can use CAXA CAD or similar software from the "CAD Drawing and 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 EXB, try CAXA CAD or another comparable tool in the "CAD Drawing and 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 EXB converter.
