What is AD_ASM file?
The file with the extension AD_ASM is the 3D Image Files file type. It was designed by Alibre Inc.. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. Alibre Design CAD appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Alibre Design Professional. This was created by Alibre Inc..
How to open AD_ASM file?
The main problem with Alibre Design CAD is that the AD_ASM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file AD_ASM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AD_ASM 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 Alibre Design Professional
The first step is to check if the computer has the Alibre Design Professional program installed. This can be achieved by typing Alibre Design Professional 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 AD_ASM with Alibre Design Professional. Below you will find a list of applications that support AD_ASM files.
Programs to open AD_ASM file
Remember to download programs supporting AD_ASM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Alibre Design Professional with AD_ASM files
If, despite the installed application, the AD_ASM file does not start in the Alibre Design Professional 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. 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 AD_ASM file with the Alibre Design Professional program.
Step 3. Update Alibre Design Professional to the latest version
If, however, after binding Alibre Design Professional with Alibre Design CAD 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 Alibre Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AD_ASM file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The AD_ASM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to AD_ASM 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AD_ASM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected AD_ASM 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 AD_ASM files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 AD_ASM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Alibre Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AD_ASM 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.
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. If possible, you can try to move the AD_ASM file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the AD_ASM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AD_ASM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AD_ASM file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
