Creo Elements/Pro versioned data

A 175 file extension identifies versioned data used by Creo Elements/Pro, also known as Pro/Engineer.
The 175 file belongs to the software's CAD/CAM data-management workflow rather than being a general-purpose document.

Creo Elements/Pro is a computer-aided design and manufacturing application developed by PTC. It was also known as Pro/Engineer and runs on Microsoft Windows.
A 175 file contains versioned data associated with Creo Elements/Pro. It is used as part of the software's handling of design data and revisions, rather than as a standalone CAD exchange file.
The file is intended to be used with the Creo Elements/Pro or Pro/Engineer installation that created or manages the related design data. Its meaning may depend on the associated files and the software version.
Open the 175 file with Creo Elements/Pro or the compatible Pro/Engineer installation on Microsoft Windows. It may need to be accessed through the related Creo design data instead of opened as an independent document.
If the software does not open the file directly, keep it with the associated design files and use the version-management or file-opening features of the Creo installation that created it.
A 175 file is versioned application data, not a general-purpose exchange format, so it normally cannot be converted independently with a standard file converter.
To export usable design content, open the related data in a compatible Creo Elements/Pro or Pro/Engineer installation and use that software's save or export functions. The original versioned data should be preserved during this process.
