What is ANY file?
The file in the ANY format belongs to the CAD Files category. The author of this format is DRail Modelspoor Software. In addition to this file, the CAD Files category includes 158 related files. AnyRail Layout Plan is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The AnyRail application is recommended to open the file. It was released by DRail Modelspoor Software.
How to open ANY file?
The most common problem when using AnyRail Layout Plan is that a specific ANY is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ANY, 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 ANY 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 AnyRail
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that AnyRail is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name AnyRail in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file ANY.
Programs to open ANY file
Remember to download programs supporting ANY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AnyRail with ANY files
If, despite the installed application, the ANY file does not start in the AnyRail 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 AnyRail application as the default for handling the ANY file.
Step 3. Update AnyRail to the latest version
If, despite the association of the AnyRail program with the AnyRail Layout Plan file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the DRail Modelspoor Software page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ANY 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 ANY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ANY file. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ANY file. Sometimes virus-infected ANY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ANY file. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ANY files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting DRail Modelspoor Software, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ANY 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ANY to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ANY 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 ANY file again. However, some background programs may block the ANY file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
