How to open AED file?

The main problem with Alphacam Wire EDM Drawing is that the AED file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file AED 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 AED 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 Alphacam

The first step is to check if the computer has the Alphacam program installed. To do this, enter the name Alphacam 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 AED.

Programs to open AED file

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

Step 2. Create association of Alphacam with AED files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AED file still does not use the Alphacam 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Alphacam application as the default for handling the AED file.

Step 3. Update Alphacam to the latest version

If, however, after binding Alphacam with Alphacam Wire EDM Drawing 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 Planit Solutions Inc. page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to AED 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AED or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AED files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AED file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AED files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Planit Solutions Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AED 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the AED file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AED to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AED file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
