What is BDI file?
The file with the extension BDI is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Parametric Technology Corporation. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files.

How to open BDI file?
An often recurring problem with Pro/ENGINEER Temporary is that BDI is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file BDI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BDI 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 Pro/Engineer
In this case, you should first verify that the Pro/Engineer application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Pro/Engineer in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support BDI files.
Programs to open BDI file
Remember to download programs supporting BDI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pro/Engineer with BDI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BDI file to open in the Pro/Engineer 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 window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the BDI file with the Pro/Engineer application.
Step 3. Update Pro/Engineer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Pro/Engineer program with the Pro/ENGINEER Temporary 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 BDI file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to BDI files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BDI file. Sometimes virus-infected BDI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BDI file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BDI file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BDI 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move BDI to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
