How to open GXM file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GXM 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.

Programs to open GXM file
Remember to download programs supporting GXM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CADD Pro with GXM files
If, despite the installed application, the GXM file does not start in the CADD Pro application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GXM file with the CADD Pro application.
Step 3. Update CADD Pro to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CADD Pro program, it is possible that General CADD Pro Macro Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the General CADD Products, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GXM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to GXM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 GXM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GXM 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 GXM file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GXM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting General CADD Products, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GXM 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 GXM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the GXM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GXM to close. However, some background programs may block the GXM file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
