ZVF File – What is .zvf file and how to open it?
ZVF File Extension
Zipped Intergraph Smart Review Project – file format by Hexagon
ZVF (Zipped Intergraph Smart Review Project) is a proprietary file format developed by Hexagon for storing CAD data and project information related to Intergraph’s Smart Review software. It is essentially a zipped archive of multiple files, including drawing data, metadata, and review comments.
ZVF File Format
ZVF (Zipped Intergraph Smart Review Project) is a proprietary file format used by Intergraph Smart Review, a software application for project review and collaboration. The ZVF file format is essentially a compressed ZIP archive that contains all the project data, such as 2D and 3D models, documents, and annotations. The purpose of using a ZIP archive is to reduce the file size and make it easier to share and store the project data.
ZVF files are typically created when a Smart Review project is saved. The project data is compressed into a ZIP archive and saved with the .ZVF file extension. When the ZVF file is opened in Smart Review, the ZIP archive is automatically decompressed and the project data is loaded into the application. ZVF files can also be used to share project data with other users. The project data can be extracted from the ZVF file by decompressing the ZIP archive using a third-party tool, such as WinZip or 7-Zip.
Opening ZVF Files on Windows
To open a ZVF file on a Windows system, you will need to have Intergraph Smart Review, a software suite developed by Hexagon, installed on your computer. Once you have installed Smart Review, you can follow these steps:
- Launch Intergraph Smart Review.
- Select the “File” menu and then click on “Open”.
- Navigate to the folder where the ZVF file is located and select it.
- Click on the “Open” button.
The ZVF file will now be opened in Intergraph Smart Review and you will be able to view and work with the project contained within the file.
Opening ZVF Files on Other Operating Systems
If you are not using a Windows system, you can also open ZVF files using the following methods:
- Unix/Linux: You can use the “unzip” command to extract the contents of the ZVF file. Once the files have been extracted, you can open them using the appropriate applications.
- Mac OS X: You can use the “Archive Utility” to extract the contents of the ZVF file. Once the files have been extracted, you can open them using the appropriate applications.
ZVF File Format
A ZVF file is a compressed archive that contains a Smart Review project created using Intergraph’s Smart Review software. Smart Review is a software application used for managing and reviewing design and engineering projects. It allows users to import various file formats, create annotations, and collaborate with others on project reviews.
ZVF files are compressed using the ZIP compression algorithm, which reduces the file size for easier storage and transmission. They typically contain the following components: the project file (.rvdp), any referenced drawings (.dgn or .dwg), and any annotations (.rva) created within the project. By compressing these files into a single archive, ZVF files make it easier to share and manage Smart Review projects with other stakeholders.
