What is an ED file?

EasyDraw software is a computer- aided design software mainly marketed in areas of Japan. Made and developed by Andor Co., Ltd., it has a lot of drawing features that basically cannot be found in other CAD software. Layering, splitting, assembling, deconstructing, and object insertion are the examples of the features that are supported by EasyDraw. The project files generated by using EasyDraw will be saved in .ed format.

Every .ed file stores the data the user plotted and saved in the drawing. It might be composed of information which defines the image color allocation, and the layering done to the master model or the mask setting incorporated. Needless to say, .ed files are in a proprietary format and can only be used by utilizing the said CAD software.
