Supported CAD File Formats
The following table lists supported CAD file formats for Windows and Mac.
* 
.zip files are used when importing files with dependencies, such as .asm files. The .zip file must have the same name as the file to be converted.
.zip files must be created using UTF-8 encoding. For example, if a user is working on a system where the selected language is Chinese or Japanese, GBK will be used as the standard encoding; therefore, that user would need to use a file compression tool that uses UTF-8 encoding to zip their files.
