Extract text from Game patches and CAD models (UDM)
To convert UDM Patches and models to another format, you need Autodesk Moldflow or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Patch & Data Model File" file type, you need software like Autodesk Moldflow or a similar tool.
The .UDM file extension is a highly fragmented, multi-purpose format primarily used as a game update patch file by the Unofficial Diff Manager. Beyond gaming, it is frequently utilized in engineering, IT, and medical environments. It acts as a User Data Model for CAD platforms like MegaCAD and ZEISS Forum, and as a Universal Data Model in Autodesk Moldflow. Additionally, system administrators may encounter .UDM files functioning as configuration and settings files for the BareTail log viewer, or as compiled hardware diagnostic modules for PC-Doctor.
The primary disadvantage of the .UDM format is its chaotic lack of standardization. Because the extension is shared across entirely unrelated industries, Windows and macOS cannot reliably associate it with a default program. A .UDM file generated by BareTail is a simple text-based file, whereas a .UDM from PC-Doctor is functionally a compiled Windows executable (EXE). This causes severe compatibility issues, software crashes when the wrong program attempts to parse the data, and often requires users to purchase expensive, proprietary software subscriptions just to open the file.
Converting a .UDM file depends heavily on its source. For BareTail configurations, convert to TXT or XML for universal text editing. For Autodesk Moldflow or CAD data, target standard interchange formats like STEP, IGES, or CSV to share 3D models and datasets with non-subscribers. Game patch variants can sometimes be extracted to standard ZIP archives for manual inspection.
Convert.Guru analyzes your UDM file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted HRF, TRANS and RPGSAVE files.

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 UDM converter.
