How to open DPRO file?

The main problem with MacDraw Pro is that the DPRO file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DPRO to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DPRO 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 MacDraw

In this case, you should first verify that the MacDraw application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MacDraw into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DPRO with MacDraw. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DPRO files.

Programs to open DPRO file

Remember to download programs supporting DPRO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of MacDraw with DPRO files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DPRO file still does not use the MacDraw program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DPRO file with the MacDraw program.

Step 3. Update MacDraw to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the MacDraw program, it is possible that MacDraw Pro requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Apple, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DPRO file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The DPRO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DPRO file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DPRO file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DPRO file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DPRO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
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 DPRO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apple, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DPRO 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DPRO file to another location will fix the problem.
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. 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.
