How to open ATL file?
The most common problem when using Artlantis 3D Scene Format is that a specific ATL is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ATL 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 ATL 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 Artlantis Render
The first step is to check if the computer has the Artlantis Render program installed. This can be achieved by typing Artlantis Render into the operating system search engine. 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 ATL.
Programs to open ATL file
Remember to download programs supporting ATL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Artlantis Render with ATL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ATL file still does not use the Artlantis Render program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Artlantis Render application as the default for handling the ATL file.
Step 3. Update Artlantis Render to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Artlantis Render program with the Artlantis 3D Scene Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ATL file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The ATL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ATL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ATL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected ATL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ATL 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.
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 ATL file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ATL 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 ATL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
