Step 2. Create association of OrCAD PCB Designer with ATTX files

The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties.

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 OrCAD PCB Designer application as the default for handling the ATTX file.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ATTX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The ATTX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ATTX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ATTX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ATTX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ATTX 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ATTX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Cadence Design Systems, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ATTX 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. 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 ATTX file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ATTX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ATTX file again. However, some background programs may block the ATTX file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
