About RUL files

A .RUL file is primarily a Garment Pattern Grading Rule file used in the apparel industry by CAD systems like Lectra Modaris and Gerber AccuMark. These files contain the critical "growth tables" that define how a clothing pattern scales from a base size (e.g., Medium) to other sizes (Small, Large, XL).

The main challenge with .RUL files is interoperability. A rule file created in one proprietary suite (like Optitex) is often unreadable by another (like PolyPattern) or by standard vector editors. Users often encounter friction when sending patterns to manufacturers who use different software or when attempting to archive designs in a neutral format. To solve this, industry professionals typically need to convert .RUL data into the universal AAMA/ASTM .DXF standard for cross-platform editing. For simple viewing or specification sheets without the need for expensive CAD licenses, converting to PDF or TXT (if ASCII based) is the most practical workflow.

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

Users also converted DXF, AAM, PDS, PDF, WDS, PLT, MDL, RULES, ZIP, TMP, DGS, JPG and QTX files.



The RUL 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 RUL converter.
