About FMP files

The .FMP file extension serves two distinct but technical purposes. Primarily, it is an AutoCAD Font Map file used by Autodesk AutoCAD. In this context, it is a plain text configuration file that acts as a lookup table, instructing the software to substitute specific fonts (e.g., replacing a missing proprietary font with a standard SHX or TTF font) to ensure drawings render correctly across different systems. Users often need to convert these raw text configurations into PDF documents to archive drafting standards or TXT files for easier editing in tools like Notepad++.

Less frequently, .FMP refers to a database file associated with FileMaker Pro (now Claris FileMaker), particularly in legacy contexts or as a colloquial abbreviation for the platform's files. These files are binary and proprietary, creating significant friction for users who do not own the expensive software but need to access historical data. In this case, the conversion goal is data liberation: exporting the locked records into universal formats like CSV, XLSX (Excel), or XML for migration to modern systems.

Convert.Guru analyzes your FMP file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

Users also converted FMP12, FP7, SHX, FP3, DWG, FAS and IFC files.
