How to open DWH file?
The main problem with WaterGems Drawing is that the DWH file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DWH to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DWH 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 WaterGEMS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WaterGEMS is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WaterGEMS into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support DWH files.
Programs to open DWH file
Remember to download programs supporting DWH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WaterGEMS with DWH files
If, despite the installed application, the DWH file does not start in the WaterGEMS 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the DWH file with the WaterGEMS application.
Step 3. Update WaterGEMS to the latest version
If, however, after binding WaterGEMS with WaterGems Drawing there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Bentley Systems, Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DWH file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DWH files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DWH or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DWH files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of DWH file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DWH file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Bentley Systems, Incorporated
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DWH 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move DWH to a different directory.
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. 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.
