Step 1. Install ConceptDraw MINDMAP

Programs to open CDMZ file

Remember to download programs supporting CDMZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ConceptDraw MINDMAP with CDMZ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CDMZ file still does not use the ConceptDraw MINDMAP 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ConceptDraw MINDMAP application as the default for handling the CDMZ file.

Step 3. Update ConceptDraw MINDMAP to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ConceptDraw MINDMAP program, it is possible that Compressed ConceptDraw MINDMAP Document requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the CS Odessa corp. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CDMZ file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The CDMZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CDMZ file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CDMZ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CDMZ 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 CDMZ 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CDMZ files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Computer Systems Odessa, 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 CDMZ 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. If possible, you can try to move the CDMZ file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CDMZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CDMZ 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.
