How to open DPV file?
An often recurring problem with Siemens NX Drafting Standard Format is that DPV is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DPV to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DPV 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 PLM Software NX
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that PLM Software NX is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PLM Software NX in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DPV with PLM Software NX. Below you will find a list of applications that support DPV files.
Programs to open DPV file
Remember to download programs supporting DPV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PLM Software NX with DPV files
If, despite the installed application, the DPV file does not start in the PLM Software NX 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 PLM Software NX application as the default for handling the DPV file.
Step 3. Update PLM Software NX to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the PLM Software NX program, it is possible that Siemens NX Drafting Standard Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DPV 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 DPV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DPV file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DPV 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 DPV 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DPV file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DPV 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. It is best to move DPV to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DPV file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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.
