What is a DVB file?
The .DVB file extension is primarily an AutoCAD VBA Project File. Autodesk created this format to store Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro code. Users rely on these macros to automate tasks and add custom features to AutoCAD.
Because a .DVB file can also be an energy logger data file for AEMC DataView or a Death Valley game save file, it has multiple possible meanings.
How to open DVB files?
Normally, you need AutoCAD with the VBA Enabler module installed to run these macros. For energy logger data, you need DataView.
If you do not know the origin of your file, viewer.online/dvb analyzes .DVB files to identify their exact format and creator software, shows which programs can open the file, and usually previews it.
Best practices and troubleshooting
Macros can contain harmful code. You should never open unknown .DVB files directly in AutoCAD. We recommend using viewer.online/dvb to identify the actual format of the user's file and safely inspect its contents before executing anything.

Summary
Because .DVB files use the known DOC format, viewer.online/dvb can safely open and display them online, eliminating compatibility problems.
