What is an .BDI file?

The bdi file extension is used by Pro/ENGINEER (also known as Creo Elements/Pro) for temporary files.

Temporary files may be created by computer programs for a variety of purposes; principally when a program cannot allocate enough memory for its tasks, when the program is working on data bigger than architecture's address space, or as a primitive form of inter-process communication.

How to open:

The bdi files are used for internal purposes of Pro/ENGINEER.

How to convert:

As far as we know, this .bdi file type can't be converted to any other file format. This is usually the case of system, configuration, temporary, or data files containing data exclusive to only one software and used for its own purposes. Also some proprietary or closed file formats cannot be converted to more common file types in order to protect the intellectual property of the developer, which is for example the case of some DRM-protected multimedia files.

How to solve problems with BDI files

Associate the BDI file extension with the correct application. On :
Windows: Right click on any BDI file and then click "Open with" > "Choose another app". Now select another program and check the box "Always use this app to open *.BDI files". Mac: Right click (or Ctrl-click) the BDI file, then click "Open with" > "Other...". Then choose another program and check the "Always Open With" box. Linux: Right click on the file, and select "Open with" and choose another program. iPhone: Tap the file. If you do not see an app to open the file, then tap Share "Share" and choose an app. Alternatively, save the file. Then open the Files app Files app. There long-press on the file, then release your finger. You will see a black menu bar. Then tap "Share" and select an app. Android: Tap the Settings icon on your smartphone, then tap on the Apps section. There tap the Options icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen to change the default apps.
Update your software that should actually open .BDI is Pro/ENGINEER temporary data. Because only the current version supports the latest BDI file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the Parametric Technology Corporation manufacturer website after an available .BDI is Pro/ENGINEER temporary data update.
To make sure that your BDI file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with antivirus software.
