How to open DRAWIT file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DRAWIT file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install DrawIt

Programs to open DRAWIT file
Remember to download programs supporting DRAWIT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DrawIt with DRAWIT files
If, despite the installed application, the DRAWIT file does not start in the DrawIt application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DRAWIT file with the DrawIt program.
Step 3. Update DrawIt to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DrawIt program, it is possible that DrawIt Drawing requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Poster Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DRAWIT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DRAWIT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DRAWIT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DRAWIT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DRAWIT file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DRAWIT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Bohemian Coding, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DRAWIT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move DRAWIT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DRAWIT to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
