How to open EWD file?
An often recurring problem with EasyWOOD Design Format is that EWD is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open EWD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EWD 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 EasyWOOD
In this case, you should first verify that the EasyWOOD application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name EasyWOOD in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file EWD.
Programs to open EWD file
Remember to download programs supporting EWD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EasyWOOD with EWD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EWD file still does not use the EasyWOOD 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 EWD file with the EasyWOOD program.
Step 3. Update EasyWOOD to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the EasyWOOD program, it is possible that EasyWOOD Design Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the DDX S.r.l. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EWD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to EWD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EWD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EWD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EWD file. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EWD file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact DDX
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EWD 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the EWD 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EWD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EWD file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
