Just trying to figure out the format so we can suggest a tool to open. ASCII would be easy to open, of course.
Binary formats are often proprietary and makes the problem more difficult. That is why I asked. Since they are CAD drawings, I assume the format is proprietary and not easily read unless you have a matching decoder/reader.
If the CAD binaries are standards-based, you might be able to open with other CAD-ware. Not being CAD-guru, I don't know about CAD standards, but it seems there would be a universal standard for CAD. If they are based on a 'standard CAD format' there might be some freeware or shareware CAD utilities that will open the files.

vfs_catia
VFS_CATIA(8) System Administration tools VFS_CATIA(8)
NAME
vfs_catia - translate illegal characters in Catia filenames
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = catia
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The Catia CAD package commonly creates filenames that use characters that are illegal in CIFS filenames. The vfs_catia VFS module
implements a character mapping so that these files can be shared with CIFS clients.
This module is stackable.
The parameter "catia:mappings" specifies the mapping on a per-character basis, see below.
OPTIONS
catia:mappings = SERVER_HEX_CHAR:CLIENT_HEX_CHAR
SERVER_HEX_CHAR specifies a 0x prefixed hexedecimal character code that, when included in a Samba server-side filename, will be mapped
to CLIENT_HEX_CHAR for the CIFS client.
The same mapping occurs in the opposite direction. Multiple character mappings are separated by a comma.
EXAMPLES
Map server-side quotation-marks (") to client-side diaeresis (") on filenames in the [CAD] share:
[CAD]
path = /data/cad
vfs objects = catia
catia:mappings = 0x22:0xa8
Perform comprehensive mapping of common Catia filename characters:
[CAD]
path = /data/cad
vfs objects = catia
catia:mappings = 0x22:0xa8,0x2a:0xa4,0x2f:0xf8,0x3a:0xf7,0x3c:0xab,0x3e:0xbb,0x3f:0xbf,0x5c:0xff,0x7c:0xa6
Server-side filename to be translated (Note that the path delimiter "/" is not used here):
aa:a*a?a"a<a>a|a
Resulting filename, as seen by the client:
aya-:-axaca"a<<a>>a|a
CAVEATS
Character mapping must work in BOTH directions (server -> client and client -> server) to get unique and existing file names!
A NOT working example:
[CAD]
path = /data/cad
vfs objects = catia
catia:mappings = 0x3a:0x5f
Here the colon ":" is mapped to the underscore "_".
Assuming a server-side filename "a:should_work", which is translated to "a_should_work" for the client.
BUT the reverse mapping from client "a_should_work" to server will result in "a:should:work" - something like "file not found" will be
returned.
