The GL file extension has two file types, seen as the GRASP animation format. It can be opened with three software programs, with the main one developed by Dassault Systèmes for their CATIA software. GL files can be found on all platforms, including mobile, but may not be properly supported. Programs that support GL files are CATIA on Windows. Problems with GL files may be due to various reasons. Fortunately, most common GL file problems can be solved without expert IT knowledge, and quickly.
A GL file extension is associated with Graphical System for Presentation (GRASP) animation files. There is one other file type using the .GL extension – the Star Crusader game archive. When you double-click a GL file to open it, Windows checks the extension. If Windows recognizes the extension, it opens the file in the associated program. When Windows does not recognize the extension, you get a message to select an app to open the GL file. This means the operating system does not have a default program for the GL type.
While the Amiga GL format is popular, there are 2 known uses of the .GL extension – Amiga GL and GRASP Animation. Different software may use the same extension for different data types. We know of these 2 uses of the .GL file extension. To open, edit or compile a GL file associated with OpenGL, an Integrated Development Environment that supports C/C++, like Visual Studio or Code::Blocks, is required.
We hope this explanation of what a GL file is and how to open, view or convert it is useful and informative. The GL game data file is related to the 1994 space game Star Crusader. It stores a simple GRASP format animation that would be inserted into games, presentations and tutorials. While prominent before, GRASP is now an obscure, no longer updated format.
