Issue: You Can't Open RFT Files
You might've double-clicked on the file, to be greeted with the "Choose a program to open the file" message. In some cases, you might be able to open the file, but the contents may seem garbled and that's because it was written to be opened in a specific program. Of course, you can't open a RFT file with just any software. Not to worry - we have you covered!
Step 1: Find Out Which Software Uses RFT Files
Opening your RFT file starts with understanding which software uses a RFT extension. In many cases, different types of software may use the same file extensions, also known as file associations.
Revit Template, AI RoboForm Form Database, and IBM DisplayWrite Revisable Format Text are the most popular software packages that use RFT files. Therefore, your best bet would be to download one of these software packages and use one of them to open your file.
Zipped files tend to require special handling and may require password access. Contact the file owner or the person who gave you the file for the password and unzip the file before attempting to open the contents.
Step 2: Learning More About RFT "File Type"
If you can't download Revit Template, AI RoboForm Form Database, or IBM DisplayWrite Revisable Format Text software, or if they don't work to open your RFT file, you may be able to use the file type as a clue to finding out how you can open it. Using a Windows PC, you can right-click and navigate to "Properties" and then to "Type of file". On a Mac, select "More info" and "Kind".
Most likely, you will find that RFT files are considered 3D Image Files. Because many programs packages utilize 3D Image Files, you might be able to find a program on your computer that handles those types of files.
If that still does not work, you may have to contact the associated software developer to find out how to open it. Unless you know the specific developer, you could contact one of these developers for assistance.
Please see our chart below of software titles and their developers:
| Software | Developer |
|---|---|
| Revit Template | Autodesk Inc. |
| AI RoboForm Form Database | Windows Programmer |
| IBM DisplayWrite Revisable Format Text | Windows Programmer |
