Importing a .bak file

[TimB]

Hi all

Is there a way to import a .bak into Alibre?

Thanks

What is it a backup of? '.bak' is typically a renamed extension - just manually change it back to what ever it was before becoming a backup. If you don't know, it's sometimes possible to get an idea by opening the file in a text editor ...

A .bak file is apparently a Autocad format I want to import this file https://grabcad.com/library/sick-connector-cable-straight-type-dol-1204-g02m-1

At least I think it is. The only other file is a DWG and thats not 3D

DWG can be 2D or 3D (Alibre only imports the 2D variant).
