The .LIP file extension is associated with the AutoCAD drawing program. It is a 2D binary file format used for storing data and commands that define the contents of a drawing. The LIP format (also called a SLIP file, for Symbol Library Interchange Product) is one of the oldest file formats used in CAD applications. It has been around since the early 1980s and is still one of the most widely-used formats for exchanging data between different CAD software.
Description and Features
The LIP file format stores a variety of graphic elements, including arcs, circles, lines, text strings and points. Graphics are stored in series of bytes that define geometrical properties along with other associated information. Each element within the file has its own set of parameters which determine how it is displayed on the screen or printed on paper. The LIP format also supports a special header section containing information about the drawing’s origin, author, date created and other associated data.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .LIP) 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 .LIP 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 .LIP 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 .LIP 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 .LIP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .LIP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .LIP 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 .LIP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .LIP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .LIP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
