Extract text from SXSCH files
To convert your SXSCH file to another format, you need SIMetrix/SIMPLIS or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "EDA Schematic" file type, you need software like SIMetrix/SIMPLIS or a similar tool.
The .SXSCH file extension designates an electronic circuit schematic created with SIMetrix/SIMPLIS, a specialized simulation environment widely used in power electronics. These files contain more than just visual lines and symbols; they store critical simulation parameters, device models, and connectivity data (netlists) required to analyze circuit behavior. Because .SXSCH files are deeply integrated with the SIMetrix simulation engine, they are proprietary and cannot be opened by standard image viewers or unrelated CAD tools like Altium Designer or AutoCAD.
This format creates a significant barrier for collaboration if recipients lack a valid license or the specific software version. To share designs with colleagues or clients who do not use SIMetrix, users must convert the file. For documentation and reviewing purposes, the best target is PDF or a raster image like PNG, which preserves the visual layout without requiring the original EDA tool. For technical interoperability - such as migrating a design to a PCB layout tool - converting the visual schematic is insufficient; instead, you must export the underlying connectivity as a SPICE Netlist (CIR or NET).
Convert.Guru analyzes your SXSCH file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DCH, SCHEM and LVW files.
If you want to convert SXSCH file to DWG, DXF, DGN, RVT, RFA, SKP, 3DM, STEP, IGES, SAT, X_T or X_B, you can use SIMetrix/SIMPLIS or similar software from the "Circuit Simulation Schematic" 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 SXSCH, try SIMetrix/SIMPLIS or another comparable tool in the "Circuit Simulation Schematic" 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 SXSCH converter.
