Create a new file type

I was assigned a project to create a new binary file structure for storing coordinating information coming out of 3D CAD / CAM software. I would really appreciate it if you kindly noted some articles or books about creating a new binary file format. Thank you for your time:)

There is a universal binary (and compact) notation called ASN.1. It has been widely used, and there are books about it. ASN.1 can be compared to XML, but at a lower (more primitive but more flexible) level than XML. And XML, especially the binary XML mentioned above, would also help you a lot. Also, if your file contains no more than one sequence of data, see Solid File System as a container for multiple data streams in a single file.

I would start by looking at other similar file formats on wotsit.org . The site is designed for various file formats and contains links to their specifications.

I think that you really need to figure out what data you need to save. Then you load it into memory and serialize that memory

Here is a tutorial on serialization in C ++ . This page also addresses many of the problems with saving data.
