what is a .scz file?
The SCZ file extension is a data file that is saved by SmartDraw. This software is a professional diagramming program that consists of a stack of SmartDraw files that are used to save a group of files together. An example would be images and SDR files that work to maintain reference links to hyperlinks, local files and remote files. Directories that consist of SmartDraw file assets are collection packages which are also known as a collection of archives. Once the Collection is active, the user can now export a collection package. All these commands can be found under the SmartDraw application menu. Aside from SmartDraw, other applications that make use of SCZ file extension are Wingz and OPENLiMiT, however these two are not as popular as SmartDraw.

Be careful not to rename the extension on .scz files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.
what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .scz. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
