What is CDL file?
The CDL file extension refers to the CADKEY Wireframe Design File. This type of file is used with CADKEY, a computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) program created by Cadkey Corporation which is now incorporated into R4 Software, Inc. CDL files are designed with a wireframe modeling structure, which is used in 3D applications that employs only lines not surfaces and meshes in order to depict features like polylines, curves and circles.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from CDL to CRD?
To successfully convert the CDL file to CRD, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.CDL). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case CRD (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than CRD).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. CDL to CRD. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting CDL files to CRD files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension CRD, while before this step we had the CDL file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new CRD file, or not.
