How to open DLF file?
An often recurring problem with DataCAD Double Precision Layer is that DLF is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DLF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DLF 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 DataCAD
In this case, you should first verify that the DataCAD application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DataCAD 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support DLF files.
Programs to open DLF file
Remember to download programs supporting DLF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DataCAD with DLF files
If, despite the installed application, the DLF file does not start in the DataCAD application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DLF file with the DataCAD program.
Step 3. Update DataCAD to the latest version
If, however, after binding DataCAD with DataCAD Double Precision Layer there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the DATACAD LLC. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DLF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DLF file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DLF file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DLF files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DLF 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DLF files. You can restore the file from a backup or use DATACAD LLC. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DLF 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 DLF to a different directory.
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. 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.
