The RED (CADViewer Redline Markup File) file extension is used for files that contain markup/redline commands supplied by CADViewer. These are used to essentially record changes and corrections that have been made, so that the drawing or other work can be accurately updated to reflect the changes. A RED file is essentially an intermediate step in the process, where the edits are recorded but not yet implemented into the drawing or other work.
Technical Detalis
RED files can be created by CADviewer, which is a program used for viewing and interpreting drawings in various formats. RED files are stored in a binary format, rather than being a human-readable or textual format. Once they are opened, they are converted into a readable form. In addition, while RED files contain markings or commands, they do not actually modify the source document itself, nor do they contain any images of the drawing or images of what the corrected drawing should look like. These files are only intended as an intermediary step in the process, at which point corrections are recorded before being implemented into the drawing.
Related File Extensions
RED files are typically associated with other vector and text based formats such as .DXF, .DWG, .TXT, CPRT, .SVG, and .WRL.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .RED) 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 .RED 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 .RED 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 .RED 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 .RED extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .RED file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .RED 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 .RED file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .RED file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .RED file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
