Extract text from AutoCAD unit definitions (UNT)
To convert UNT unit definitions to another format, you need AutoCAD or other Settings software.
To convert other file formats to the "CAD Configuration File" file type, you need software like AutoCAD or a similar tool.
The .UNT file is an AutoCAD Unit Definition file. It is a configuration file used by AutoCAD to store mathematical rules and conversion factors for different physical units of measurement, such as translating inches to millimeters or degrees to radians.
The primary disadvantage of the .UNT format is its highly specialized nature. Users often mistake these files for actual 2D or 3D drawing models and attempt to open them in standard CAD viewers. However, these files contain absolutely no graphical or geometric data. They are strictly reference files for the software's internal calculation engine. If a user tries to run this file through a standard document or image converter, the process will fail because there is no visual output to generate.
Since this file is entirely data-driven, the only practical conversion targets are plain text formats. Converting a .UNT file to TXT, CSV, or JSON allows developers and engineers to easily parse the conversion factors without needing an active AutoCAD subscription.
This file format is difficult to open or convert using generic tools because it is designed specifically for Autodesk's proprietary ecosystem. If our analysis detects the underlying plain text structure, viewing or extracting the data is fast and simple.
Convert.Guru analyzes your UNT file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted DWF, DSD and DWG files.
If you want to convert UNT file to DWG, DXF, DGN, RVT, RFA, SKP, 3DM, STEP, IGES, SAT, X_T or X_B, you can use AutoCAD or similar software from the "Unit Conversion Definitions" 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 UNT, try AutoCAD or another comparable tool in the "Unit Conversion Definitions" 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 UNT converter.
