How to open ATO file?
The main problem with ATO Modeler Project is that the ATO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ATO 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 ATO 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 ATO
In this case, you should first verify that the ATO application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ATO in it. 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 ATO files.
Programs to open ATO file
Remember to download programs supporting ATO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ATO with ATO files
If, despite the installed application, the ATO file does not start in the ATO application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ATO file with the ATO program.
Step 3. Update ATO to the latest version
If, however, after binding ATO with ATO Modeler Project there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the E2S nv page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ATO file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ATO file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ATO file. However, remember that not every infected ATO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ATO file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 ATO files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact E2S nv
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ATO files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 ATO file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ATO 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 ATO file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ATO file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
