How to open DXW file?
The main problem with DimensioneX World Data Format is that the DXW file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DXW to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DXW 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 DimensioneX
In this case, you should first verify that the DimensioneX application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name DimensioneX into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DXW files.
Programs to open DXW file
Remember to download programs supporting DXW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DimensioneX with DXW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DXW file still does not use the DimensioneX program, it means no association. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DXW file with the DimensioneX program.
Step 3. Update DimensioneX to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the DimensioneX program, it is possible that DimensioneX World Data Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DXW 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:
The DXW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the DXW file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DXW file. However, remember that not every infected DXW file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of DXW 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DXW file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DXW files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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 DXW file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DXW 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 DXW to close. 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.
