How to open CND file?
The most common problem when using Melco Condensed Embroidery Format is that a specific CND is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that CND 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 CND 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 AlphaSizer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that AlphaSizer is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing AlphaSizer 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 CND files.
Programs to open CND file
Remember to download programs supporting CND files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AlphaSizer with CND files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CND file still does not use the AlphaSizer program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 AlphaSizer application as the default for handling the CND file.
Step 3. Update AlphaSizer to the latest version
If, however, after binding AlphaSizer with Melco Condensed Embroidery Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CND file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CND file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CND or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected CND file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CND 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 ability to automatically repair CND file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CND 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CND file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CND file again. However, some background programs may block the CND file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
