About ICD files

The .ICD file extension is shared by several distinct technical formats, creating significant ambiguity for users. Most commonly, it represents a proprietary CAD drawing or model created by Fujitsu iCAD SX or IronCAD. These files often contain complex 2D mechanical schematics or 3D assemblies used in heavy machinery and industrial design. A substantial portion of .ICD files are also IED Capability Descriptions defined by the IEC 61850 standard - structured XML files used to configure automation devices in electrical substations. Less frequently, the file may be a SafeDisc encrypted game executable or a generic configuration file.

Common Challenges:
1. Proprietary Lock-in: Opening an iCAD or IronCAD file typically requires expensive, licensed engineering software often restricted to Windows environments.
2. Opacity: While IEC 61850 files are technically XML, raw viewing is difficult without specialized parsers like Notepad++ or standard-compliant grid tools.
3. Legacy DRM: SafeDisc files are often obsolete locked containers that modern OS security (like Windows 10/11) blocks by default.

Conversion Solutions:

For CAD (Review & Print): Convert .ICD drawings to PDF to share designs with clients who lack CAD software.
For CAD (Editing): Convert to standard exchange formats like DXF or DWG to import geometry into AutoCAD or SolidWorks.
For IEC 61850: Convert the XML structure to HTML or CSV for readable documentation and data auditing.

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

Users also converted LCD, CID, ICS, ZIP, TXT, PDF, PNG, X_T, PRT, RPMSG and CPT files.

The ICD Converter Story

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 ICD converter.
