This article explains what an SZN file is used for and how to open an SZN file or convert it to another format.

A file with the SZN file extension is used by the computer-aided design software HiCAD to store 2D or 3D drawings.

SZN files can be opened with ISD Group's HiCAD. The program is not free to use, but there is a demo you can download that should provide the same support for these files.

The same company has the free HiCAD Viewer which can also open SZN files, but only if they contain shaded 3D models. This means that 2D models or glass models saved in the SZN format cannot be opened with the viewer. It can, however, work with a number of other file types used with HiCAD, such as 2D drawings in the ZTL format, plus SZA, SZX and RPA files, as well as HiCAD Parts and Assemblies files in the KRP, KRA and FIG formats.
