Extract text from Macro and simulation files (MFC)
To convert MFC Macros to another format, you need Allplan or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "3D Object Library" file type, you need software like Allplan or a similar tool.
The .mfc extension represents a diverse set of proprietary data formats, most commonly associated with CAD and engineering workflows. The primary use (approx. 29%) is the Macro Folio Catalog used by Allplan (Nemetschek). These files serve as libraries for reusable 3D objects and architectural elements. Because they are strictly internal binary containers, you cannot open them directly in AutoCAD or Revit. To convert them, you must use Allplan's "Export" function to save the geometry as IFC or DWG.
A secondary common use (14%) is for Simulation Analysis Results in SolidWorks. These files contain heavy mathematical data from stress or flow simulations. They are often gigabytes in size and unreadable outside the simulation environment. Users typically need to convert these into CSV for data analysis or PDF for reporting, which requires the original software.
Less frequently, .mfc files are Speech Feature Files generated by the HTK (Hidden Markov Model Toolkit). These contain Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) used in speech recognition research - they are mathematical feature vectors, not playable audio files. Finally, some legacy systems use this extension for Outlook Mail Folder Caches, which are system files that should not be manually edited.
Convert.Guru analyzes your MFC file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted RSL, SOS, ALM, QT and WPF files.
If you want to convert MFC file to QT or WPF, you can use Allplan or similar software from the "CAD Macro Folio Catalog" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert files to MFC, try Allplan or another comparable tool in the "CAD Macro Folio Catalog" 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 MFC converter.
