How to open DRT file?
The main problem with PSpice Or PCB Designer Custom Derating is that the DRT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DRT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DRT 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 OrCAD PCB Designer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that OrCAD PCB Designer is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing OrCAD PCB 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 DRT with OrCAD PCB Designer. Below you will find a list of applications that support DRT files.
Programs to open DRT file
Remember to download programs supporting DRT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OrCAD PCB Designer with DRT files
If, despite the installed application, the DRT file does not start in the OrCAD PCB Designer 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DRT file with the OrCAD PCB Designer application.
Step 3. Update OrCAD PCB Designer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the OrCAD PCB Designer program with the PSpice Or PCB Designer Custom Derating file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Cadence Design Systems, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DRT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the DRT 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DRT file. However, remember that not every infected DRT 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 DRT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 DRT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Cadence Design Systems, Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DRT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the DRT file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DRT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DRT file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
