How to open CDPZ file?

The most common problem when using ConceptDraw PROJECT Document is that a specific CDPZ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that CDPZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CDPZ 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ConceptDraw PROJECT in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CDPZ with ConceptDraw PROJECT.

Step 2. Create association of ConceptDraw PROJECT with CDPZ files

If, despite the installed application, the CDPZ file does not start in the ConceptDraw PROJECT application, you must create a file association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CDPZ file with the ConceptDraw PROJECT program.

Step 3. Update ConceptDraw PROJECT to the latest version

If, however, after binding ConceptDraw PROJECT with ConceptDraw PROJECT Document there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 CDPZ file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CDPZ file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CDPZ file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CDPZ 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 CDPZ file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CDPZ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use CS Odessa help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CDPZ 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the CDPZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CDPZ to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
