The .CAS file extension is associated with the Autodesk AutoCAD product suite. Autodesk AutoCAD is a popular computer-aided design (CAD) software package for creating professional 3D models, drawings, and other technical documentation. A .CAS file is a support file used in conjunction with AutoCAD projects. It stores various user and application-specific information such as program configuration data, licensing information, GUI preferences, and unsaved project data.
The .CAS file extension is typically located at the root directory of an AutoCAD project and generally has the same name as the associated project files. The .CAS file is updated one or more times each time the AutoCAD program is active. For example, each time a new component is added to a drawing, variables concerning application settings are saved to the appropriate .CAS file. They are also updated when the graphical user interface (GUI) is reconfigured or when project data is saved or unloaded.

Other related CAD file types used within the Autodesk AutoCAD suite include .DWG, .DXF, .DWT, .DWS, .DWL, and .DWT.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .CAS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .CAS extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .CAS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .CAS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .CAS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .CAS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .CAS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .CAS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .CAS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .CAS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
