How to open CDPX file?

The main problem with ConceptDraw PROJECT XML Format is that the CDPX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CDPX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CDPX 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 ConceptDraw PROJECT

In this case, you should first verify that the ConceptDraw PROJECT application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ConceptDraw PROJECT into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CDPX files.

Programs to open CDPX file

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

Step 2. Create association of ConceptDraw PROJECT with CDPX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CDPX file still does not use the ConceptDraw PROJECT program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ConceptDraw PROJECT application as the default for handling the CDPX file.

Step 3. Update ConceptDraw PROJECT to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ConceptDraw PROJECT program with the ConceptDraw PROJECT XML Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. 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 CDPX file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The CDPX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CDPX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CDPX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CDPX 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 CDPX 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CDPX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CS Odessa
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CDPX 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.
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. It is best to move CDPX to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CDPX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CDPX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
