What is DRAWING file?

How to open DRAWING file?
An often recurring problem with Artboard Drawing is that DRAWING is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DRAWING, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DRAWING 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 Artboard
The first step is to check if the computer has the Artboard program installed. To do this, enter the name Artboard into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file DRAWING.
Programs to open DRAWING file
Remember to download programs supporting DRAWING files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Artboard with DRAWING files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DRAWING file to open in the Artboard application, but you can set it manually. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DRAWING file with the Artboard program.
Step 3. Update Artboard to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Artboard program, it is possible that Artboard Drawing requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Mapdiva, LLC page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DRAWING file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DRAWING files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DRAWING file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DRAWING files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DRAWING files changes over time. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DRAWING file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Mapdiva
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DRAWING 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the DRAWING file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the DRAWING file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
