What is 12DA file?
The file with the extension 12DA is the Document Files file type. The author of this format is 12d Solutions Pty Ltd.. In addition to this file, the Document Files category includes 574 related files. 2d Ascii 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. The main program that supports this format is 12d Model. This was created by 12d Solutions Pty Ltd..
How to open 12DA file?
The main problem with 2d Ascii is that the 12DA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file 12DA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 12DA 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 12d Model
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that 12d Model is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name 12d Model into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file 12DA.
Programs to open 12DA file
Remember to download programs supporting 12DA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 12d Model with 12DA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 12DA file to open in the 12d Model application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the 12d Model application as the default for handling the 12DA file.
Step 3. Update 12d Model to the latest version
If, however, after binding 12d Model with 2d Ascii 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 12d Solutions Pty Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 12DA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The 12DA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to 12DA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our 12DA file. Sometimes virus-infected 12DA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 12DA files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 12DA files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact 12d Solutions Pty Ltd.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted 12DA files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move 12DA to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the 12DA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the 12DA file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
