The ide file extension is associated with C++ Builder, an integrated development environment for Microsoft Windows developed by Borland.
An ide file stores project information for a C++ Builder program, such as the files and settings that make up the project.
This is a legacy Borland C++ project format. It is intended to be used with a compatible Windows version of C++ Builder rather than as a general-purpose source-code format.
Open an ide file with Borland C++ or a compatible version of C++ Builder on Microsoft Windows.
If the file does not open, it may require the older C++ Builder environment that created the project.
An ide file cannot normally be converted directly to another file format. To move the project to a different development environment, reuse its source files and recreate the project settings in the target environment.

The ide file extension is used by Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk's 3D mechanical design software for Microsoft Windows.
An ide file, also known as an Inventor Design Element file, stores the 3D design data for an iFeature together with information needed to use it in an Inventor part. iFeatures are reusable features that can include editable parameters and are saved separately from the part files in which they are used.
Open the ide file in Autodesk Inventor on Microsoft Windows. The file is intended to be used as an iFeature within Inventor rather than opened as a general-purpose 3D model.
There is no usual standalone conversion for an ide file. In Autodesk Inventor, insert the iFeature into a part and export the resulting part to a supported CAD format if a converted model is required. Compatible tools may also be able to export ide files to other formats.

The ide file extension is associated with ideCAD Architectural and ideCAD Structural, developed by ideYAPI Ltd. Şti. These applications provide architectural and structural building design tools.
An ide file stores a building model, including its three-dimensional geometry and the project information needed to edit and document the design. It is used as a native working file within the corresponding ideCAD application.
ideCAD is primarily available for Microsoft Windows. The ide format is intended for ideCAD projects rather than as a general-purpose interchange format, so the software is normally required to work with the complete model.
Open an ide file in ideCAD Architectural or ideCAD Structural, depending on the application in which the project was created. Use the program's Open command and select the file.
The file is intended for ideCAD on Microsoft Windows. A different application may not be able to interpret its model data correctly.
Open the file in the appropriate ideCAD application and use its export commands to create an interchange or documentation format supported by that edition and version.
Exporting from ideCAD may provide formats such as DWG, DXF, or IFC where available, but the result can omit application-specific project data. Keep the original ide file as the editable source model.
