How to open DLO file?
The main problem with 3ds Max Plug-in is that the DLO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DLO files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DLO 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 3ds Max
The first step is to check if the computer has the 3ds Max program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name 3ds Max in it. 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 DLO files.
Programs to open DLO file
Remember to download programs supporting DLO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3ds Max with DLO files
If, despite the installed application, the DLO file does not start in the 3ds Max 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DLO file with the 3ds Max application.
Step 3. Update 3ds Max to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the 3ds Max program, it is possible that 3ds Max Plug-in requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DLO 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. Usually this applies to DLO files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DLO or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected DLO 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 DLO 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DLO file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DLO 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move DLO to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DLO file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DLO file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DLO file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
