What is ARXML file?

The ARXML file has been categorized as Developer Files. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. AUTOSAR XML is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The Sublime Text application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Sublime HQ Pty Ltd.

How to open ARXML file?

The main problem with AUTOSAR XML is that the ARXML file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ARXML, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ARXML 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 Sublime Text

In this case, you should first verify that the Sublime Text application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Sublime Text 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 ARXML with Sublime Text. Below you will find a list of applications that support ARXML files.

Programs to open ARXML file

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

Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with ARXML files

If, despite the installed application, the ARXML file does not start in the Sublime Text 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 Sublime Text application as the default for handling the ARXML file.

Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Sublime Text program, it is possible that AUTOSAR XML requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The ARXML file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ARXML file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ARXML or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ARXML 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 ARXML files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ARXML file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ARXML files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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 ARXML file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ARXML file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ARXML file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
