What is a .SCH file?
SCH is a circuit schematic from EAGLE or another electronics-design tool.
- Did you know
- A schematic captures a circuit’s wiring before it becomes a physical board layout.
- EAGLE stands for Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor, and its .sch schematic pairs with a .brd board layout.
- From version 6 onward EAGLE switched its .sch files from a proprietary binary format to plain XML.
- What Analyser reads
- Identify CAD files and read header metadata: AutoCAD DWG/DWT and DXF now open as a 2D drawing preview (see Diagrams), SolidWorks .sldreg Settings Wizard backups (release year, settings groups and the saved registry keys) and SOLIDWORKS Visualize .svap appearances and .svpj projects, opened as the ZIP packages they are, Inventor (IPT, IAM), Rhino (3DM) and Grasshopper (GH, GHX), SketchUp (SKP), 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, Houdini, ZBrush, Maya, CATIA, Eagle, and KiCad. SolidWorks parts/assemblies/drawings (SLDPRT, SLDASM, SLDDRW) and Autodesk Fusion 360 (F3D, F3Z) have their own viewers - see SolidWorks and Fusion 360 above.
- Depth of analysis
- .SCH is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
- Open a .SCH file
- Drag a .SCH file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It is identified entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
