How to open DRR file?
An often recurring problem with Altium Designer Drill Report is that DRR is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DRR, 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 DRR 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 Altium Designer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Altium Designer is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Altium Designer 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 DRR with Altium Designer. Below is a list of programs that support the file DRR.
Programs to open DRR file
Remember to download programs supporting DRR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Altium Designer with DRR files
If, despite the installed application, the DRR file does not start in the Altium Designer application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Altium Designer application as the default for handling the DRR file.
Step 3. Update Altium Designer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Altium Designer program with the Altium Designer Drill Report file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Altium Limited. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DRR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the DRR 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 DRR file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DRR 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 DRR file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DRR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Altium Limited. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DRR 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 DRR 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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DRR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
