.csv	.csv is a file format. "CSV" stands for "Comma-Separated Values". This is a common output format that can be read in Excel. CAD uses CSV files for the 'Export -> Full CSV' tool to export all the available parts and fields in a file. The Screen-to-Machine output also uses a CSV file along with DXFs to export all the machining information.
.dash	File format of the file that is auto-extracted from your .zip file.
.html	File format of the BOM/Parts List.
.zip	Zip files are a way to compress and combine 1 or more files into a single, smaller file. ClosetCADPro will copy and compress the contents of the CAD project folder into a zip file so it can be shared/uploaded to Dashboard when you select 'Export -> Dash (zip)'. Users can also compress and decompress zip files directly in Windows (right-click on folder and select 'Send to -> Compressed (zipped) folder' to compress a folder into a zip file, right-click and select 'Extract All' to decompress/unzip a file). This file format is no longer active, although older files will remain in this format until reopened.	https://calclosets.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CCP/pages/2250276865
