How to open CDL file?
The most common problem when using CADKEY Wireframe Design Format is that a specific CDL is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CDL, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CDL 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 CADKEY Wireframe
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CADKEY Wireframe is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name CADKEY Wireframe into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CDL files.
Programs to open CDL file
Remember to download programs supporting CDL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CADKEY Wireframe with CDL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CDL file still does not use the CADKEY Wireframe 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CDL file with the CADKEY Wireframe application.
Step 3. Update CADKEY Wireframe to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CADKEY Wireframe program with the CADKEY Wireframe Design Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CDL 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 CDL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CDL file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CDL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CDL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CDL file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CDL files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CDL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. It is best to move CDL 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CDL to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
