If I'm not mistaken, the .tgz file format is a compressed file. Maybe you should check first if you can extract the contents of this file and see what it has first? I'll take a guess it will be a collection of manufacturing files like gerber and nc drill, etc.

tgz sounds more like it is an ODB++ file

tgz is a file extension coming from the unix environment and indicates a "Tarred and GZipped" file. You can extract the contents of this file with winzip, winrar etc.

ODB++ is using this compression when you use a compressed ODB output file. Unzipping such a file will result in an ODB++ directory with readable files.

Thanks for confirming senilicus. I was fairly certain it was some sort of compressed file, kind of like gzip, but wasn't 100% sure.
