CCX to FTS conversion is the process of transforming a drawing file stored in the CCX (Composable Canvas XML) format into the FTS (Flat Trace Sheet) format used for flattened, print-ready technical illustrations. This conversion re-maps CCX's layered, XML-based drawing objects into FTS's single-layer, trace-optimized structure while preserving vectors, line weights, and metadata where possible.

CCX files typically use the MIME type application/ccx and are associated with older Drawing software. FTS files use the MIME type application/fts and are designed for modern drawing and drafting programs. Both formats support vector graphic codecs, but FTS offers enhanced compression and metadata support for efficient storage and editing.
The FTS (.FTS) format is commonly used for drawing. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like CCX.
While specific technical details aren't available here, FTS files generally serve the purpose of storing drawing effectively within their domain.
Welcome to the fastest and most reliable online CCX to FTS converter. If you need to convert your Drawing files from CCX format to FTS, our tool offers a seamless and secure experience without any software installation. Get started in seconds and enjoy high-quality file conversions optimized for your workflow.
CCX files are commonly used in legacy Drawing software and may have limited support in newer applications. FTS format is more versatile, supporting additional features and improved rendering capabilities. Converting to FTS ensures better integration with current design tools and workflows.
Keep individual CCX files under 50–200 MB for optimal browser-based conversion performance; larger files increase processing time and memory use.
To preserve line fidelity, choose the High quality FTS output and avoid rasterizing vector layers during export from CCX.
For large projects, batch-convert sets of drawings in groups of 10–25 files to avoid timeouts and ensure consistent quality.
Note format limitation: FTS is designed as a flattened, single-layer format—layer hierarchy and some interactive annotations from CCX may be lost or merged.
