Creo Elements/Pro, also known as Pro/Engineer, is a CAD/CAM system developed by PTC for Microsoft Windows. A 213 file contains versioned data from Creo Elements/Pro.
This is proprietary application data rather than a general-purpose CAD exchange format. The extension is associated with the Creo Elements/Pro product and is intended to be handled by the software that created it.
On Microsoft Windows, open the 213 file with a compatible installation of Pro/ENGINEER or Creo Elements/Pro. The software may use the file as supporting version data rather than as a primary model document.
If the file is recognized by Creo Elements/Pro, use the software's own save or export functions where available.
Because the file contains versioned application data, it may not be directly convertible by itself. Exporting the associated model or design from Creo is usually more appropriate.
