ARTB file extension
The ARTB file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the ARTB files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the ARTB file on each system platform.
What is ARTB file?
The file with the extension ARTB is the Vector Image Files file type. It was designed by Mapdiva. In addition to this file, the Vector Image Files category includes 138 related files. Artboard Document appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Mac OS, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Artboard application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Mapdiva, LLC.
How to open ARTB file?
An often recurring problem with Artboard Document is that ARTB is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ARTB to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ARTB 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 Artboard
The first step is to check if the computer has the Artboard program installed. This can be achieved by typing Artboard 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 ARTB with Artboard. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ARTB files.
Programs to open ARTB file
Remember to download programs supporting ARTB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Artboard with ARTB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ARTB file to open in the Artboard application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ARTB file with the Artboard application.
Step 3. Update Artboard to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Artboard program with the Artboard Document 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 Mapdiva, LLC page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ARTB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ARTB file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ARTB file. Sometimes virus-infected ARTB 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 ARTB 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ARTB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Mapdiva help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ARTB 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. Copying the ARTB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ARTB 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 ARTB file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
