How to open DGB file?
An often recurring problem with FlashCAD Drawing Database is that DGB is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DGB 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 DGB 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 FlashCAD
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FlashCAD is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing FlashCAD into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DGB files.
Programs to open DGB file
Remember to download programs supporting DGB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FlashCAD with DGB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DGB file to open in the FlashCAD application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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 FlashCAD application as the default for handling the DGB file.
Step 3. Update FlashCAD to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FlashCAD program with the FlashCAD Drawing Database file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DGB 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:
The DGB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DGB file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DGB file. Sometimes virus-infected DGB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DGB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DGB file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DGB 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DGB to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DGB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DGB file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
