The BDY file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the BDY files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the BDY file on each system platform.
What is BDY file?
The file in the BDY format belongs to the GIS Files category. The creator of this file is Alan Morton. GIS Files consists of 255 similar files. DMAP Boundary is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is DMAP. This was created by Alan Morton.
How to open BDY file?
The most common problem when using DMAP Boundary is that a specific BDY is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that BDY 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 BDY 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 DMAP
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DMAP is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DMAP 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 BDY files.
Programs to open BDY file
Remember to download programs supporting BDY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DMAP with BDY files
If, despite the installed application, the BDY file does not start in the DMAP 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. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BDY file with the DMAP program.
Step 3. Update DMAP to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DMAP program, it is possible that DMAP Boundary requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Alan Morton website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BDY 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 BDY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to BDY files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 BDY file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BDY file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BDY files changes over time. 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 BDY file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Alan Morton
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BDY 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the BDY file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the BDY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the BDY file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
