Extract text from CabMaster design files (QID)
To convert QID designs to another format, you need CabMaster Pro or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "Cabinetry Design Project" file type, you need software like CabMaster Pro or a similar tool.
A .QID file serves multiple distinct industrial functions, most commonly originating as a CabMaster Design Project used in the manufacturing of cabinetry. These files utilize the Microsoft Compound Document format to store complex 3D geometry, machining instructions, and cut lists for CNC routers.
A major limitation for users is the proprietary nature of the format; opening a CabMaster .QID file typically requires a licensed copy of CabMaster Pro with an active hardware dongle or subscription. This creates significant bottlenecks for clients, contractors, or shop floor workers who need to view the design but lack the expensive software. For these stakeholders, the best workflow is converting the visual components to PDF for proofing or DXF for 2D CAD interoperability.
Alternatively, a .QID file may contain Qualys vulnerability data. In the cybersecurity context, these files often represent exported reports or KnowledgeBase identifiers (QIDs) containing technical risk data. These are frequently raw data dumps that are unreadable in standard text editors. Converting these datasets to CSV or XLSX is essential for importing them into Microsoft Excel for audit analysis. A third, less common variant involves SunGard AvantGard treasury systems, where the file acts as a transaction import log, best converted to plain TXT or CSV for financial reconciliation.
Convert.Guru analyzes your QID file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

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 QID converter.
