How to open BKB file?
The main problem with VariCAD Drawing is that the BKB file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open BKB, 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 BKB 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 VariCAD
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that VariCAD is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name VariCAD into the 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 BKB files.
Programs to open BKB file
Remember to download programs supporting BKB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of VariCAD with BKB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BKB file still does not use the VariCAD program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 BKB file with the VariCAD application.
Step 3. Update VariCAD to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the VariCAD program, it is possible that VariCAD Drawing requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the VariCAD, s.r.o. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BKB 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. This suggests truncating the BKB file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 BKB file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected BKB file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of BKB 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BKB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting VariCAD, s.r.o., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BKB 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. It is best to move BKB to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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 BKB file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BKB file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
