MacDraft Pro allows you to save symbol libraries which can contain all of your commonly used drawing items. I believe MacDraft is the only current program capable of importing MacDraw II. EazyDraw worked great for my problem. I had several dozen MacDraw Pro files from 10 years ago. These were complicated scientific diagrams so I paid $20 to get the full version– the demo version will only convert and import up to 45 elements in your graphic. I had a few minor issues with text placement, but EazyDraw was well worth the cost for me. Apr 25, 2016  I had a MacDraft license in the '70s and '80s. It was a great tool then, except for the limited included libraries, but still used MacDraw for other than house and garden plans. Do your records go back to the early Mac days? Would that reduce the cost of a Pro license?

MacDraft Pro allows you to save symbol libraries which can contain all of your commonly used drawing items. I believe MacDraft is the only current program capable of importing MacDraw II. MacDraw was one of the first WYSIWYG drawing programs that could be used in collaboration with MacWrite. MacDraw was useful for drawing technical diagrams and floorplans. It was eventually adapted by Claris and, in the early 1990s, MacDraw Pro was released with color support. MacDraw was the vector cousin of MacPaint.

Question: What is an DPRO File?

Have you found, downloaded or received an DPRO file, but don't know which software program is required to open it?

Before attempting to open an DPRO file, you'll need to determine what kind of file you are dealing with and whether it is even possible to open or view the file format.

Answer: Files which are given the .DPRO extension are known as MacDraw Pro files, however other file types may also use this extension. If you are aware of any additional file formats that use the DPRO extension, please let us know.

How to open a DPRO file:

The best way to open an DPRO file is to simply double-click it and let the default assoisated application open the file. If you are unable to open the file this way, it may be because you do not have the correct application associated with the extension to view or edit the DPRO file.

This file format was added to our database by a visitor to this site, but no additional information was provided. We have yet to investigate this file type further, or there was not enough information available at the time to report accurately on the format.

Please check back soon for more information as we are constantly updating our file descriptions based on search frequency.

Tip: Try to open the DPRO file using a text-editor such as Notepad, as many file types contain simply contain unformatted plain-text and can viewed correctly using this method.
