How to open CG3 file?

The main problem with Cabri 3D Document is that the CG3 file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CG3, 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 CG3 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 Cabri

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Cabri is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Cabri into the operating 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 CG3 files.

Programs to open CG3 file

Remember to download programs supporting CG3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Cabri with CG3 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CG3 file still does not use the Cabri 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CG3 file with the Cabri application.

Step 3. Update Cabri to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Cabri program with the Cabri 3D Document 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 CG3 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The CG3 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CG3 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 CG3 file. Sometimes virus-infected CG3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CG3 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CG3 file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CG3 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the CG3 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. 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 CG3 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
