How to open EXY file?
An often recurring problem with Eltac Embroidery Format is that EXY is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file EXY to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EXY 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 Embird Embroidery Software
The first step is to check if the computer has the Embird Embroidery Software program installed. This can be achieved by typing Embird Embroidery Software 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EXY files.
Programs to open EXY file
Remember to download programs supporting EXY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Embird Embroidery Software with EXY files
If, despite the installed application, the EXY file does not start in the Embird Embroidery Software 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 EXY file with the Embird Embroidery Software application.
Step 3. Update Embird Embroidery Software to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Embird Embroidery Software program, it is possible that Eltac Embroidery Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the BALARAD, s.r.o. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EXY 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. This suggests truncating the EXY file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EXY file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected EXY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of EXY file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular EXY file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file EXY 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. If possible, you can try to move the EXY file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EXY file again. 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.
