How to open DWDOC file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DWDOC 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 DrawWell

If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support DWDOC files.
Programs to open DWDOC file
Remember to download programs supporting DWDOC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DrawWell with DWDOC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DWDOC file to open in the DrawWell 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 DWDOC file with the DrawWell application.
Step 3. Update DrawWell to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DrawWell program with the DrawWell Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the DrawWell Technologies website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DWDOC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The DWDOC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DWDOC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DWDOC file. However, remember that not every infected DWDOC 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 DWDOC 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DWDOC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use DrawWell Technologies help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DWDOC 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 DWDOC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DWDOC to close. However, some background programs may block the DWDOC file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
