The 76 file extension is used by Creo Elements/Pro, the CAD/CAM software from PTC formerly known as Pro/Engineer. The software runs on Microsoft Windows.
The number identifies a saved version of a Creo file. The original file type is normally indicated by an earlier extension in the filename, such as a part or assembly file extension, while .76 identifies its revision in the Creo file-management scheme.
Creo Elements/Pro is a legacy product name that was superseded by PTC Creo. The numbered-file convention belongs to the Creo/Pro/ENGINEER family and is primarily useful within that software.
Use the Creo Elements/Pro or Pro/ENGINEER file browser on Microsoft Windows to access the required version of the 76 file. If Windows does not associate the file with the software, start Creo first and use its Open command.
Because the number identifies a revision, do not remove it unless the software or an administrator specifically requires that. The filename should retain any earlier extension that identifies the underlying Creo data type.
The 76 file is not normally converted directly as a standalone format. Open the required revision in Creo Elements/Pro or Pro/ENGINEER and use the software's Save As or export commands.
The available export formats depend on the underlying Creo data type and the installed software. Saving or exporting the file creates a new copy rather than changing the versioned file itself.
