What is a .TOPVIW file?
A .TOPVIW file is a type of computer file used for storing designs made in a program called TopSolid. TopSolid is a special computer program used by designers and engineers to create and manage complex designs and information about products. These designs can include anything from small parts to large machines or buildings.
The .TOPVIW file contains a drawing or design that was made in TopSolid. However, it's important to know that this file doesn't have everything. It doesn't include the full details of the models or the list of materials needed to make the product, known as the Bill of Materials (BoM). Think of it like having a picture of a cake without the recipe or list of ingredients needed to make it.
To look at a .TOPVIW file, you can use a free program called TopSolid'Viewer. This program lets you open and view the design inside the .TOPVIW file without needing the full TopSolid program. It's useful for people who need to see the design but don't need to edit it.
The companies that make these programs are called Missler. They have two main programs related to .TOPVIW files: Missler TopSolid, which is used to create and edit designs, and Missler TopSolid'Viewer, which is used just to look at the designs without editing them.
