How to open DM1 file?
An often recurring problem with ER/Studio Data Model Format is that DM1 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DM1 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 DM1 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 ER/Studio
The first step is to check if the computer has the ER/Studio program installed. This can be achieved by typing ER/Studio into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DM1 with ER/Studio. Below you will find a list of applications that support DM1 files.
Programs to open DM1 file
Remember to download programs supporting DM1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ER/Studio with DM1 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DM1 file still does not use the ER/Studio program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DM1 file with the ER/Studio program.
Step 3. Update ER/Studio to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ER/Studio program, it is possible that ER/Studio Data Model Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DM1 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The DM1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DM1 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 DM1 file. However, remember that not every infected DM1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DM1 files changes over time. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DM1 file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DM1 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move DM1 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DM1 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
