How to open BIMD file?
The most common problem when using Blue Ink Meta-data Export is that a specific BIMD is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open BIMD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BIMD 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 Blue Ink
The first step is to check if the computer has the Blue Ink program installed. This can be achieved by typing Blue Ink into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file BIMD.
Programs to open BIMD file
Remember to download programs supporting BIMD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Blue Ink with BIMD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BIMD file still does not use the Blue Ink program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 Blue Ink application as the default for handling the BIMD file.
Step 3. Update Blue Ink to the latest version
If, however, after binding Blue Ink with Blue Ink Meta-data Export 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 Automated Architecture, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BIMD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BIMD file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the BIMD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BIMD 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 BIMD 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair BIMD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Automated Architecture, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BIMD 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BIMD file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BIMD file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
