How to open CVT file?
The most common problem when using Canvas External Tool Format is that a specific CVT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CVT, 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 CVT 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 Canvas
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Canvas is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Canvas in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support CVT files.
Programs to open CVT file
Remember to download programs supporting CVT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Canvas with CVT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CVT file still does not use the Canvas program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Canvas application as the default for handling the CVT file.
Step 3. Update Canvas to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Canvas program, it is possible that Canvas External Tool Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the ACD Systems International Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CVT 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the CVT file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CVT or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CVT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of CVT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CVT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ACD Systems
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CVT 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move CVT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CVT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
