File Extension SDK

Files that contain the file extension SDK are associated with multiple programs and applications and various file types. The programs and applications include AutoSketch, Smart Diary, Roland, and ShrinkIt. SDK files contain data and information related to the program that created the file.

If the file extension SDK is related to AutoSketch, the file is a CAD file type that contains two and three dimensional graphics, lines, shapes, mathematical calculations, analytic data, and other components which are used with Computer Aided Design. AutoSketch is a CAD application that allows you to create drawings and sketches for the architectural, manufacturing, and electrical engineering fields.

SDK files that are created with Smart Diary are a data file type that contains text, numerical data, graphs, and other elements used to organize personal information. Smart Diary Suite is an application produced by Programming Sunrise which provides a way to organize and manage personal information.

If the file extension SDK is associated with Roland S-550, the file is an audio file type that contains sound files in a twelve or 16-bit mono sound format. This type of SDK file is older and was used to store musical loops, instrument sounds, and other components used with Roland electronic musical instruments.

SDK files that are related to ShrinkIt are a compressed file type formerly used with Apple II computers. The file is compressed using the ShrinkIt compression utility program which is used to reduce the size of files stored on an Apple II PC. ShrinkIt is still used for modern day operating systems and applications.

How to Open SDK Files

Since SDK files are associated with multiple programs and applications, double click on the file to see if it will automatically open in a default program you have installed on your PC. SDK files can consist of different file types, so you may already have a program which will open the file.

If the SDK file is related to AutoSketch, you can open the file using the AutoSketch or AutoCAD Computer Aided Design applications. Both applications are compatible with the Windows operating system and are available on the Autodesk website.

SDK files that are created with Smart Diary must be opened using the Smart Diary Suite, which is available as a free trial download on the Smart Diary website. Smart Diary is compatible with the Windows operating system version XP and higher.

If the SDK files are associated with Roland S-550, you can open them using Awave Studio, which is available as a free trial download on the FMJ Software website. Awave Studio is compatible with the Windows operating system.

You can also opt to convert Roland S-550 SDK files to another audio file format using a file conversion program. There are multiple file conversion programs available as a free download on websites such as CNET which will convert SDK files for you. You can also use an online resource such as Zamzar which will perform free file conversion for you as long as the content is not copyright protected. Simply log onto the website, browse for the SDK file, choose a new format, enter your email address, and click on Convert. Within minutes you will receive the newly converted file in your email inbox.

If the file extension SDK is part of ShrinkIt, you can open the file using the ShrinkIt archive compression utility. ShrinkIt is available as a free download for Mac OS X on the ShrinkIt website. If you are using another type of operating system, you can opt to convert the SDK file to another compressed format using one of the conversion methods mentioned above. This will allow you to open and extract the contents using a broader range of applications.
