Programs to open BLOCKPLT file

Step 2. Create association of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT with BLOCKPLT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BLOCKPLT file to open in the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT application, but you can set it manually. 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.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BLOCKPLT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the BLOCKPLT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BLOCKPLT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover BLOCKPLT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BLOCKPLT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular BLOCKPLT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact LEGO
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file BLOCKPLT 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. If possible, you can try to move the BLOCKPLT file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the BLOCKPLT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
