Visual UML XML Model appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

You can use Visual Paradigm in case Visual UML cannot be used.

How to open UMLX file?

The most common problem when using Visual UML XML Model is that a specific UMLX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open UMLX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UMLX 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 Visual UML

In this case, you should first verify that the Visual UML application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Visual UML into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file UMLX.

Programs to open UMLX file

Remember to download programs supporting UMLX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Visual UML with UMLX files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UMLX file to open in the Visual UML application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Visual UML application as the default for handling the UMLX file.

Step 3. Update Visual UML to the latest version

If, however, after binding Visual UML with Visual UML XML Model there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Visual Object Modelers, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UMLX file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to UMLX 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our UMLX file. Sometimes virus-infected UMLX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the UMLX file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UMLX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Visual Object Modelers, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file UMLX except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the UMLX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file UMLX to close. However, some background programs may block the UMLX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
