How in hell does a person open .skf files? This was something that was created in autosketch. I do not have the software for that. It is too expensive.

All I need to do is try to determine the content of the file. i don't have to be able to see or read everything in it. I have tried to open it with everything on my 'open with' list. I have tried to copy the file so I could change the extension of it and try to open it with something that is associated with that extension, but it gives me a message like 'can't read it', or something, and won't let me copy it.

Does anyone have a clue to the solution for this problem?
Thanks.

Try changing the extension to .dwf and open with Internet Explorer or any other web browser.

I believe they can be opened in AutoCad. Maybe if you contact your local library and ask if they have AutoCad on their computers, you could save the files to floppy and take them there to view.

I've been using AutoCAD for years, and I've never heard of an SKF file being associated with any CAD software. If I remember correctly, SKF is a form of file layout used in accounting programs.

Autosketch creates .skf files. Autocad, autosketch are the same company Autodesk.. I guess its possible one opens the other.

This may or may not help

You might try searching google for a viewer of some sort.

An architect or engineer would be the best
bet to find a user of AutoCAD to open the
file.

AutoSketch was the smaller version of
AutoCAD. Cost was about $100.

Thanks for enlightening me. All these years I've been using AutoCAD and never knew that AutoSketch saved files in that format.
But then again, I've nver used AutoSketch.
After all, why ride around on a bicycle, when you can drive around with a car?
