How to open DSTV file?
An often recurring problem with Tekla Structures NC Data Format is that DSTV is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file DSTV 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 DSTV 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 Tekla Structures software
The first step is to check if the computer has the Tekla Structures software program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Tekla Structures software in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DSTV with Tekla Structures software. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DSTV files.
Programs to open DSTV file
Remember to download programs supporting DSTV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Tekla Structures software with DSTV files
If, despite the installed application, the DSTV file does not start in the Tekla Structures software application, you must create a file association. 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 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 DSTV file with the Tekla Structures software application.
Step 3. Update Tekla Structures software to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Tekla Structures software program with the Tekla Structures NC Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Tekla Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DSTV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DSTV file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 DSTV file. However, remember that not every infected DSTV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DSTV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DSTV files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DSTV 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move DSTV to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DSTV file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DSTV to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
