What are .SCH files and how to open them?

Can't open .SCH file? Are you wondering what it contains? On our site we will explain to you what this file is, what it is used for and what software opens the .SCH file.

What is a .SCH file extension?

.SCH file extension is created by gEDA. .SCH has been classified as CAD Files. The format of .SCH file is Text.

.SCH is gEDA Schematic File

Schematic file created and used by gEDA, a collection of tools used to design PCB layouts and electronic schematics; contains data that makes up the schematic; includes the gEDA/gaf format version, pictures, and XY coordinates for nets, buses, and components.

Electronic schematics consist of a collection of symbols, or components, nets, and buses. They are used during the schematics capture process in circuit design and once it has been created, it can then be passed to the printed circuit board design process.

EAGLE Schematics File

Developer by: Autodesk Category: Data Files

An SCH file contains a schematic, or visual diagram, of a PCB (printed circuit board), created with EAGLE PCB design software. It stores symbols (for logic gates) connected by lines, which represent buses. SCH files are used for creating a actual circuit board (.BRD) files.

NOTE: Autodesk EAGLE was formerly known as CadSoft EAGLE. The software was acquired by Autodesk in 2016. EAGLE stands for "Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor."

Strater Scheme File

Developer by: Golden Software Category: Settings Files Format: Binary

File used by Strater, a program used for visualizing subsurface borehole and well log data; specifies the nomenclature (keywords, data range, lithology, etc.) and the display properties (line, text, symbol, fill, etc.) for design elements that use the nomenclature; enables designs to be created according to standards.

Strater schemes can be created and edited in the Scheme Editor, which is accessed by selecting Tools → Scheme Editor... from the application menu.

KiCad Schematic File

Developer by: KiCad Category: CAD Files Format: Text

File created by the Shematic Capture Editor program included in KiCad, a tool suite used for designing PCB layouts and electronic schematics; saves an electronic schematic as it is laid out on the program's drawing canvas.

Electronic schematics are used during the schematics capture process in circuit design. Once the electronic schematic has been created, it can then be passed to the printed circuit board design process.

How to fix problems with .SCH files

  1. You need to update the application that you normally use to open .SCH files. Only the latest version of the software supports the current .SCH file format
  2. You need to check the .SCH file for viruses. To do this, you need to scan it with a popular antivirus (Norton, Nod32, Kaspersky, Dr.Web, etc.)
