Software That Opens & Edits EXB Files (1 Tools, 2026)

EXB is the native file format of CAXA Electronic Draft, a leading Chinese CAD platform widely deployed across China's heavy industrial manufacturing, machining, and engineering education sectors. Built to align strictly with Chinese national drafting standards (GB standards), EXB files house detailed 2D production plans, localized dimension styles, annotated welding symbols, and structured BOM (Bill of Materials) systems that map directly to enterprise ERP systems.

Frequently asked

Is there a direct viewer for EXB files in non-Chinese CAD environments?
No, EXB is a highly proprietary structure. To view or edit EXB files in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, or GstarCAD, you must use CAXA's built-in batch conversion utility to export the sheets as standard DWG or DXF files first.
How does EXB maintain compatibility with legacy DWG data?
CAXA's graphics engine uses a dual-kernel database structure. When importing DWGs, it maps AutoCAD elements to native EXB drafting entities with extremely high fidelity. When exporting, it generates standard DWG containers, allowing Chinese manufacturers to exchange data with international partners.
