How to open BTL file?
The main problem with SolidWorks Sheet Metal Bend Table is that the BTL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file BTL 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 BTL 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 SolidWorks
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SolidWorks is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SolidWorks in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support BTL files.
Programs to open BTL file
Remember to download programs supporting BTL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with BTL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the BTL file to open in the SolidWorks 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BTL file with the SolidWorks program.
Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SolidWorks program with the SolidWorks Sheet Metal Bend Table file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the SolidWorks Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BTL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to BTL 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BTL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BTL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of BTL file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 BTL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SolidWorks Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file BTL 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the BTL file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the BTL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
