What is DLV3 file?
The file with the extension DLV3 is the 3D Image Files file type. In addition to this file, the 3D Image Files category includes 622 related files. CATIA Exported Data Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open DLV3 file?
An often recurring problem with CATIA Exported Data Format is that DLV3 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DLV3 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 DLV3 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 CATIA
The first step is to check if the computer has the CATIA program installed. To do this, enter the name CATIA into the 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 DLV3 files.
Programs to open DLV3 file
Remember to download programs supporting DLV3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CATIA with DLV3 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DLV3 file still does not use the CATIA 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CATIA application as the default for handling the DLV3 file.
Step 3. Update CATIA to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CATIA program with the CATIA Exported Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Dassault Syst?mes S.A. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DLV3 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DLV3 file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DLV3 file. Sometimes virus-infected DLV3 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DLV3 file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DLV3 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DLV3 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the DLV3 file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DLV3 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DLV3 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
