Creo Elements/Pro is a CAD/CAM application developed by PTC. It was also known as Pro/Engineer and is associated with Microsoft Windows.
The .83 file stores versioned data from Creo Elements/Pro. It is part of the software's file and version-management system and may be associated with other files belonging to the same Creo project or model.
This is a legacy, software-specific format and is not normally used as an interchange format between unrelated CAD applications.
Open the file on Microsoft Windows with a compatible installation of Creo Elements/Pro or Pro/Engineer. Use the application's file-management or open/retrieve commands rather than expecting the file to open as a standalone document.
If the file came with a Creo project or model, keep it with the related files. A version of Creo that does not support the file's data may be unable to open or retrieve it.
The file is versioned Creo Elements/Pro data, not a standard CAD exchange file.
If a compatible version of Creo Elements/Pro can retrieve the data, use that application to save the resulting model in a supported native format or export it to one of Creo's available exchange formats.
