How to open AEF file?
The main problem with ELECTRICAL Designer Related is that the AEF file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open AEF, 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 AEF 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 ELECTRICAL Designer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ELECTRICAL Designer is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ELECTRICAL Designer into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file AEF with ELECTRICAL Designer. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open AEF files.
Programs to open AEF file
Remember to download programs supporting AEF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ELECTRICAL Designer with AEF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AEF file still does not use the ELECTRICAL Designer program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 ELECTRICAL Designer application as the default for handling the AEF file.
Step 3. Update ELECTRICAL Designer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ELECTRICAL Designer program, it is possible that ELECTRICAL Designer Related requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ACERI, S. A. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AEF 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to AEF files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AEF file. Sometimes virus-infected AEF 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 AEF 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AEF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ACERI, S. A., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AEF 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.
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 AEF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the AEF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AEF file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
