How to open ASMDOT file?
The most common problem when using SolidWorks Assembly Template is that a specific ASMDOT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ASMDOT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ASMDOT 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 SolidWorks
The first step is to check if the computer has the SolidWorks program installed. To do this, enter the name SolidWorks into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ASMDOT files.
Programs to open ASMDOT file
Remember to download programs supporting ASMDOT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with ASMDOT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ASMDOT file to open in the SolidWorks 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SolidWorks application as the default for handling the ASMDOT file.
Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SolidWorks program, it is possible that SolidWorks Assembly Template requires a newer version of the program.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 SolidWorks Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ASMDOT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ASMDOT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ASMDOT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ASMDOT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ASMDOT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ASMDOT 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ASMDOT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SolidWorks Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ASMDOT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ASMDOT 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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ASMDOT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
