How to open DWX file?
An often recurring problem with DesignWorks Viewer Tools is that DWX is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that DWX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DWX 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 DesignWorks
The first step is to check if the computer has the DesignWorks program installed. To do this, enter the name DesignWorks into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DWX with DesignWorks. Below you will find a list of applications that support DWX files.
Programs to open DWX file
Remember to download programs supporting DWX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DesignWorks with DWX files
If, despite the installed application, the DWX file does not start in the DesignWorks 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 DWX file with the DesignWorks application.
Step 3. Update DesignWorks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the DesignWorks program with the DesignWorks Viewer Tools 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 Capilano Computing Systems Ltd. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DWX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DWX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 DWX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DWX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DWX 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DWX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Capilano Computing Systems Ltd.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file DWX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DWX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DWX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DWX to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
