Convert MAJ to another file type

To convert your MAJ file to another format, you need Autodesk Fabrication or other Cad software.

Convert a file to MAJ

To convert other file formats to the "MEP Fabrication Job" file type, you need software like Autodesk Fabrication or a similar tool.

About MAJ files

A .MAJ file is a proprietary manufacturing job file used by the Autodesk Fabrication suite (CADmep, ESTmep, and CAMduct). Unlike standard CAD files, it contains highly specific fabrication data - such as ductwork seams, connector types, insulation specifications, and nesting logic - necessary for controlling CNC machines.

The Problem: Because .MAJ files are designed for the closed ecosystem of MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing) contractors, they are functionally 'invisible' to standard software. You cannot open them in vanilla AutoCAD or Revit without installing specialized (and often expensive) Object Enablers or extensions. This creates a major bottleneck when sharing models with architects, general contractors, or clients who just need to see the geometry or check the costs.

The Solution:

For Coordination: Convert .MAJ to DWG or IFC. This strips the heavy manufacturing metadata but preserves the 3D geometry, allowing the model to be viewed in Navisworks or standard CAD viewers.
For Estimating: Convert to XLS or CSV. This extracts the 'Bill of Materials' (BOM), giving you a clean list of parts, lengths, and material costs without needing to open the 3D model.
For Archiving: Convert to PDF to generate static shop drawings or spool sheets for record-keeping.

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

Users also converted DWG, MI, IGR and DWB files.

FAQ

If you want to convert MAJ file to DWG, DXF, DGN, RVT, RFA, SKP, 3DM, STEP, IGES, SAT, X_T or X_B, you can use Autodesk Fabrication or similar software from the "MEP Manufacturing Data" 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 MAJ, try Autodesk Fabrication or another comparable tool in the "MEP Manufacturing Data" category.

The MAJ 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 MAJ converter.
