What is DLV4 file?
The file in the DLV4 format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by Dassault Systèmes S.A.. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Catia is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The CrossManager application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Datakit. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. CATIA will apply when it is not possible to use CrossManager.
How to open DLV4 file?
An often recurring problem with Catia is that DLV4 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DLV4 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 DLV4 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 CrossManager
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CrossManager is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CrossManager in it. 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 DLV4 files.
Programs to open DLV4 file
Remember to download programs supporting DLV4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CrossManager with DLV4 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DLV4 file still does not use the CrossManager program, it means no 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 DLV4 file with the CrossManager application.
Step 3. Update CrossManager to the latest version
If, however, after binding CrossManager with Catia there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Datakit website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DLV4 file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to DLV4 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DLV4 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DLV4 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 DLV4 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DLV4 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Dassault Systèmes S.A. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DLV4 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DLV4 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DLV4 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DLV4 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
