What is ASSY file?
The file in the ASSY format belongs to the Misc Files category. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Siemens NX Assembly Data Format 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 main program that supports this format is Siemens NX. This was created by Siemens AG.
How to open ASSY file?
The most common problem when using Siemens NX Assembly Data Format is that a specific ASSY is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ASSY files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ASSY 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 Siemens NX
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Siemens NX is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Siemens NX in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file ASSY.
Programs to open ASSY file
Remember to download programs supporting ASSY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Siemens NX with ASSY files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ASSY file still does not use the Siemens NX program, it means no 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ASSY file with the Siemens NX program.
Step 3. Update Siemens NX to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Siemens NX program with the Siemens NX Assembly Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Siemens AG website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ASSY file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ASSY file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ASSY or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ASSY files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ASSY file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ASSY files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ASSY 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ASSY file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ASSY to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ASSY file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
