This was created by Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc..

How to open CMP_XML file?

An often recurring problem with Solid Edge XML Design is that CMP_XML is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that CMP_XML 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 CMP_XML 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 Solid Edge

The first step is to check if the computer has the Solid Edge program installed. This can be achieved by typing Solid Edge into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CMP_XML with Solid Edge. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CMP_XML files.

Programs to open CMP_XML file

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

Step 2. Create association of Solid Edge with CMP_XML files

If, despite the installed application, the CMP_XML file does not start in the Solid Edge application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 Solid Edge application as the default for handling the CMP_XML file.

Step 3. Update Solid Edge to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Solid Edge program, it is possible that Solid Edge XML Design requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CMP_XML file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to CMP_XML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CMP_XML file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CMP_XML file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of CMP_XML file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 CMP_XML files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CMP_XML 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. 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 CMP_XML 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. However, some background programs may block the CMP_XML file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
