What is CIS2 file?
The file in the CIS2 format belongs to the Misc Files category. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. ProSteel Document Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use ProSteel to handle this file. This is a program created by Bentley Systems, Incorporated.
How to open CIS2 file?
The most common problem when using ProSteel Document Format is that a specific CIS2 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CIS2, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CIS2 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 ProSteel
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ProSteel is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ProSteel into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CIS2 with ProSteel. Below is a list of programs that support the file CIS2.
Programs to open CIS2 file
Remember to download programs supporting CIS2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ProSteel with CIS2 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CIS2 file still does not use the ProSteel 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. 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 ProSteel application as the default for handling the CIS2 file.
Step 3. Update ProSteel to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ProSteel program with the ProSteel Document Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Bentley Systems, Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CIS2 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to CIS2 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CIS2 or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CIS2 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 CIS2 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CIS2 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CIS2 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 CIS2 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CIS2 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. However, some background programs may block the CIS2 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
