Convert RCE to another file type

To convert RCE workflows to another format, you need Remote Component Environment or other Data software.

Convert a file to RCE

To convert other file formats to the "Application Workflow File" file type, you need software like Remote Component Environment or a similar tool.


About RCE files

An .RCE file typically functions as an engineering workflow file for the Remote Component Environment (RCE) or as a 3D graph dataset for NTgraph GUI Control. These files store complex configurations, visual node data, and automation steps used by engineers and researchers. To open an .RCE file natively, users rely on the open-source Remote Component Environment platform or specific NTgraph viewing utilities. Users often need to convert these files because they are highly proprietary and useless without the original software installed. The core disadvantage is vendor lock-in. An .RCE workflow file cannot be easily shared with non-technical stakeholders. Sharing the data requires conversion to universal formats. The best conversion targets for visual workflows are PDF or PNG for documentation, or JSON to preserve the raw node data, though active execution capabilities will be permanently lost. This file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert using generic tools because of its closed schema. Standard online converters fail because they do not understand the intricate engineering data model. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format like base JSON, viewing or conversion may still be possible.

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


FAQ

If you want to convert RCE file to TMP, TEMP, CACHE, LOG, BAK, OLD, NEW, PART, DOWNLOAD, CRDOWNLOAD, LOCK or PID, you can use Remote Component Environment or similar software from the "Engineering Workflow Configuration" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….

To convert DEVICE, CACHE, SOCK, SYMLINK, PID, MOUNT, FIFO, LOG, PIPE, TMP, JUNCTION or TEMP files to RCE, try Remote Component Environment or another comparable tool in the "Engineering Workflow Configuration" category.



The RCE 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 RCE converter.
