CDT to FTS conversion is the process of transforming a CorelDRAW template or drawing saved in CDT (Corel Template) format into an FTS file, a drawing/format variant used for [FTS-enabled] drafting or specialized viewer tools. This conversion extracts vector artwork, layout, and resource metadata from the CDT and repackages it into the FTS structure so the design can be opened, edited, or published by FTS-compatible software.

CDT files typically use the MIME type application/x-cdt and are associated with CAD drawing software. FTS files use the MIME type application/x-fts and are designed for flexible drawing and schematic interchange. Both formats may incorporate vector graphics codecs but differ in structure and software support.
The FTS (.FTS) format is commonly used for image. Understanding its characteristics can be helpful when converting to or from other formats like CDT.
While specific technical details aren't available here, FTS files generally serve the purpose of storing image effectively within their domain.
Easily convert your CDT files to FTS format with our reliable online converter. Designed for professionals and hobbyists alike, this tool simplifies the process of changing your drawing files from CDT to FTS quickly and without software installation.
CDT files are proprietary drawing files commonly used for detailed designs within specific CAD software, while FTS files offer broader compatibility across multiple platforms. FTS format often supports more advanced features and easier sharing compared to the more specialized CDT format.
Keep source CDT files under 100–250 MB for optimal upload and processing speed; very large templates can slow conversion or exceed browser limits.
Preserve quality by embedding fonts and linked images in the CDT before converting; avoid rasterizing vector elements if you need editable vectors in the FTS.
For batch conversions, group similar CDT versions and settings together to ensure consistent FTS output and use a tool that supports queued jobs or command-line processing.
Note format limitations: some CorelDRAW-specific effects, macros, or proprietary filters may not translate perfectly into FTS and could render as flattened images or approximations.

If you rely on layer structure or object grouping, verify the converted FTS in a compatible viewer — complex group hierarchies sometimes shift during conversion.
