How to open ART3 file?
An often recurring problem with Art Text Drawing Format is that ART3 is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open ART3, 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 ART3 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 Art Text
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Art Text is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Art Text into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support ART3 files.
Programs to open ART3 file
Remember to download programs supporting ART3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Art Text with ART3 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ART3 file to open in the Art Text application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ART3 file with the Art Text application.
Step 3. Update Art Text to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Art Text program, it is possible that Art Text Drawing Format requires a newer version of the program.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 BeLight Software, Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ART3 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 ART3 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ART3 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ART3 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ART3 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 ART3 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 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 ART3 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , 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 ART3 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ART3 to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ART3 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ART3 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
