How to open D07 file?
The most common problem when using MicroSim PCBoard NC Drill Data is that a specific D07 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open D07, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the D07 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 OrCAD PCB Designer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that OrCAD PCB Designer is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing OrCAD PCB Designer 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 D07 files.
Programs to open D07 file
Remember to download programs supporting D07 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OrCAD PCB Designer with D07 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the D07 file still does not use the OrCAD PCB Designer 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 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the D07 file with the OrCAD PCB Designer program.
Step 3. Update OrCAD PCB Designer to the latest version
If, however, after binding OrCAD PCB Designer with MicroSim PCBoard NC Drill Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Cadence Design Systems, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the D07 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The D07 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the D07 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file D07 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected D07 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 D07 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular D07 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Cadence Design Systems, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted D07 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the D07 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the D07 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. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
