The 248 file extension is associated with Creo Elements/Pro, a CAD/CAM application developed by PTC for Microsoft Windows. The software was formerly known as Pro/Engineer.
The 248 file contains versioned data from a Creo Elements/Pro design. It is part of the software's system of numbered file versions rather than a general-purpose, standalone exchange format.
The format is mainly relevant to files created and maintained by Pro/Engineer and Creo Elements/Pro. Keep the file with the associated design data and use compatible Creo Elements/Pro software on Microsoft Windows to access it.
Use Pro/Engineer or Creo Elements/Pro on Microsoft Windows to access design data associated with the 248 file.
Because it is versioned data, keep the file with the other files from the same Creo Elements/Pro design and try opening the associated design from the application rather than editing the file manually.
Open the associated design and its versioned data in compatible Pro/Engineer or Creo Elements/Pro software first.
If the software can restore the data as a design, use its Save As or export features to create a supported native or exchange-format file. The available options depend on the type of Creo design data stored in the file.
