.lvw File Extension

Developer: New Wave Concepts

File type: Livewire Document

You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .lvw. Files with the file extension .lvw can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .lvw files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .lvw file?

LVW files are Livewire Documents referring to circuit design files that the Livewire program created. The Livewire program is used for circuit designing and simulation wherein through this program; the circuit behavior is investigated by connecting together switches, diodes, transistors and other components. The LVW documents created using Livewire contain all the things comprising a circuit design such as electronic parts and connections. All the design canvas components and its location are stored in these files. LVW files also contain circuit simulation inputs as well as the text comments that are written and saved by the user. One of the main functions of LVW files is to save, load and simulate all circuit designs. This makes the task of the Livewire program easier. There are various editions of the Livewire software like the Standard and Education editions as well as the Professional editions. LVW files can be opened when Livewire is installed in the system.

how to open a .lvw file?

Launch a .lvw file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .lvw file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .lvw files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .lvw file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .lvw file will open the correct application.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .lvw 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, .lvw. 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.
