Programs to open CIM file
Remember to download programs supporting CIM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CimPack Software with CIM files
If, despite the installed application, the CIM file does not start in the CimPack Software 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 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. 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 CIM file with the CimPack Software application.
Step 3. Update CimPack Software to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CimPack Software program with the CimPack Design Drawing file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the CIMEX Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CIM 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 CIM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CIM file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CIM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected CIM 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 CIM 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged CIM files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CIMEX Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CIM 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move CIM to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CIM to close. However, some background programs may block the CIM file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
