How to open AD_PRT file?
The main problem with Alibre Design CAD is that the AD_PRT file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open AD_PRT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AD_PRT 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
In this case, you should first verify that the Alibre Design Professional application is installed on the computer. 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_PRT with Alibre Design Professional. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open AD_PRT files.
Programs to open AD_PRT file
Remember to download programs supporting AD_PRT 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_PRT files
If, despite the installed application, the AD_PRT 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. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Alibre Design Professional application as the default for handling the AD_PRT file.
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. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Alibre Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AD_PRT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to AD_PRT 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 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AD_PRT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected AD_PRT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AD_PRT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AD_PRT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Alibre Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AD_PRT 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the AD_PRT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the AD_PRT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AD_PRT file again. However, some background programs may block the AD_PRT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
