How to open DXX file?
An often recurring problem with AutoCAD Drawing Interchange Attribute Format is that DXX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DXX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DXX 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 AutoCAD
In this case, you should first verify that the AutoCAD application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing AutoCAD 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 is a list of programs that support the file DXX.
Programs to open DXX file
Remember to download programs supporting DXX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD with DXX files
If, despite the installed application, the DXX file does not start in the AutoCAD application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the DXX file with the AutoCAD program.
Step 3. Update AutoCAD to the latest version
If, despite the association of the AutoCAD program with the AutoCAD Drawing Interchange Attribute Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Autodesk, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DXX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the DXX 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DXX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DXX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DXX 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 option of recovering data from damaged DXX files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Autodesk help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DXX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. Copying the DXX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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.
