How to open AX3 file?
An often recurring problem with Apex Sketch is that AX3 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that AX3 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 AX3 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 Apex Medina
The first step is to check if the computer has the Apex Medina program installed. This can be achieved by typing Apex Medina into the operating 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 AX3 files.
Programs to open AX3 file
Remember to download programs supporting AX3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apex Medina with AX3 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AX3 file to open in the Apex Medina 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AX3 file with the Apex Medina application.
Step 3. Update Apex Medina to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Apex Medina program, it is possible that Apex Sketch requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the APEX SOFTWARE website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AX3 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the AX3 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the AX3 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected AX3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of AX3 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AX3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use APEX SOFTWARE help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AX3 except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. It is best to move AX3 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AX3 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 AX3 file again. 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.
