What is CKT file?
The CKT file extension is associated with CircuitMaker. This application is used for designing, creating and simulating electronic circuit schematics developed by Altium. CKT refers to CircuitMaker schematic documents, and is used for created projects. These files are basically text documents containing the source code for a schematic project. Such documents may be edited and used in more advanced CircuitMaker tools. [ ⏩ ] CKT file extension
What is CKD file?
A .CKD file is a CADKEY Design file used by CADKEY software. It stores the complete design of a model or drawing created for a specific engineering project. The .CKD extension contains a drawing, 2D sketches, 3D models, images, meta-objects, annotations, and other associated data for the project. Components The major components of a .

How to convert the file from CKT to CKD?
To successfully convert the CKT file to CKD, 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.CKT). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case CKD (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 CKD).
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. CKT to CKD. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting CKT files to CKD 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 CKD, while before this step we had the CKT file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new CKD file, or not.
