Macromedia (Adobe) Director Shockwave cast data

File type: Digital video and movie file

A .cct file contains cast data for a Macromedia Director or Adobe Director Shockwave project.

The file stores cast objects used by Director multimedia content and may be protected against direct editing.

Found 6 different file type records with the same cct filename suffix.

What is cct file?

File type category:
Digital video and movie file

Date updated: November 4, 2026

Macromedia Director, later developed by Adobe as Adobe Director, was an authoring tool for interactive multimedia, animation and Shockwave content. A CCT file is a protected cast-data file associated with that software.

The file contains cast objects used by a Director movie or Shockwave project. Cast objects can include the media and other resources assembled for the project. Protected CCT files cannot normally be edited directly in Adobe Director.

Director was available for Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac systems, including Mac OS X. It is a discontinued product, so CCT is a legacy format rather than a format in active development.

How to open cct file?

Use a compatible version of Adobe Director on Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS to work with a CCT file. The file may need to be used with the Director movie or Shockwave project that references it, and protected cast data may not be directly editable.

On Microsoft Windows, ProjectorRays Shockwave Decompiler can inspect or decompile some Shockwave content and may help extract data from a CCT file.

How to convert cct file?

Protected CCT files cannot be converted directly to other formats. Adobe Director does not directly convert its protected cast data into an editable equivalent.

When recovery is permitted, a compatible Shockwave decompiler such as ProjectorRays Shockwave Decompiler may extract individual resources, but this is decompilation rather than a standard CCT conversion.

DesignWorks schematic data

File type category:
3d graphics, CAD-CAM-CAE file

Date updated: October 25, 2026

The cct file extension is associated with DesignWorks, a schematic design application from Capilano Computing.

The file stores a circuit schematic drawing in the DesignWorks schematic format. It is part of the application's native project data.

LogicWorks, another Capilano application for Microsoft Windows, also uses cct files.

How to open cct file?

On Microsoft Windows, open the file with DesignWorks. LogicWorks can also open cct schematic files.

How to convert cct file?

A cct file is a native DesignWorks schematic file rather than a general-purpose interchange format. Open it in DesignWorks or LogicWorks and use the application's available export options to create another format.

MicroSim PCBoard design information file

File type category:
Various data file

Date updated: September 27, 2026

MicroSim PCBoard was printed circuit board design software associated with OrCAD PCB Designer, a product from Cadence. A CCT file contains design information used with a board design rather than serving as a general-purpose document.

The file can include information or rules that guide the autorouting process. It is associated with the supporting data of a PCB design project, so its contents may depend on the related project files.

CCT is a legacy format associated with MicroSim PCBoard and older OrCAD PCB workflows. OrCAD PCB Designer is available for Microsoft Windows, but newer releases may not support every legacy project file directly.

How to open cct file?

Open the related MicroSim PCBoard or OrCAD PCB Designer project in OrCAD PCB Designer on Microsoft Windows. A CCT file may be a supporting project file and may not open usefully as a standalone document.

If the file is not recognized, use a version of OrCAD PCB Designer compatible with the project that created it, and open the project through the program rather than double-clicking the CCT file.

How to convert cct file?

Conversion normally requires opening the associated project in a compatible version of OrCAD PCB Designer.

After opening the project, use the program's supported save or export functions to create data in a format accepted by the target PCB design software. A CCT file by itself may not contain enough information for a complete board-design conversion.

Microsoft Windows Live Messenger contacts

File type category:
Various data file

Date updated: September 17, 2019

The cct file extension is associated with the Microsoft Windows Live Messenger instant messaging application. The .cct file contains basic information about contacts in contact list.

Contacts (ctt file extension) files contain basic contact information, not contact profile details and ctt files are text files written by XML. The content is viewable in the text editor.

How to open cct file?

You can use any text or XML editor to open and edit this file type. Older versions were text and newer versions are XML.

Railroad Tycoon 3 car type description file

File type category:
Game file

Date updated: September 27, 2026

Railroad Tycoon 3 was developed by PopTop Software and released in 2003. Its CCT file extension identifies a game data file that describes a car type.

The file forms part of the data used by Railroad Tycoon 3 and is intended to be read by the game rather than used as a standalone document. The format is specific to the Windows version of Railroad Tycoon 3.

How to open cct file?

CCT files are used by Railroad Tycoon 3 on Microsoft Windows. Keep the file in the location expected by the game so that it can load the associated car type data.

A CCT file is not normally opened as an independent document.

How to convert cct file?

There is no standard conversion for a Railroad Tycoon 3 CCT file. It is game-specific data, so converting it to another format would not provide a usable equivalent.

Keep the file in its original format when it is needed by Railroad Tycoon 3.

SIL Hebrew Font System transliteration table

File type category:
Font and typeface file

Date updated: October 17, 2026

Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.

The cct file extension belongs to the SIL Hebrew Font System, a font package from SIL for displaying and printing Biblical Hebrew text. A .cct file contains the transliteration table used by the system.

The table is supporting data for the font system rather than a standalone text document. It defines the relationship between transliteration input and the characters or glyphs used by the Hebrew fonts.

The SIL Hebrew Font System is an obsolete product, so the format is unlikely to be supported by current font or word-processing software.

How to open cct file?

Open a cct file with the original SIL Hebrew Font System, if that software is available in a compatible legacy environment. The file is a system data file and is not normally intended to be opened as a document.

Current text editors may display its contents, but they will not interpret the transliteration table or reproduce the original Hebrew font system's behavior.

How to convert cct file?

The .cct file is supporting data for the obsolete SIL Hebrew Font System, so it is not normally converted as a standalone document.

If the table is needed for current work, its mappings can be used as a reference when recreating the transliteration rules in a modern Unicode-based Hebrew input or font workflow. This does not convert the .cct file automatically.
