How to open CATRESOURCE file?
The main problem with CATIA Resource is that the CATRESOURCE file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CATRESOURCE, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CATRESOURCE 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 CATIA
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CATIA is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CATIA into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CATRESOURCE with CATIA. Below is a list of programs that support the file CATRESOURCE.
Programs to open CATRESOURCE file
Remember to download programs supporting CATRESOURCE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CATIA with CATRESOURCE files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CATRESOURCE file still does not use the CATIA program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CATRESOURCE file with the CATIA program.
Step 3. Update CATIA to the latest version
If, however, after binding CATIA with CATIA Resource 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 Dassault Syst?mes S.A. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CATRESOURCE 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 CATRESOURCE file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CATRESOURCE file contents when downloading or copying. 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 CATRESOURCE or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected CATRESOURCE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CATRESOURCE file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CATRESOURCE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Dassault Systèmes S.A., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CATRESOURCE 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the CATRESOURCE file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
