How to open FBG file?

The most common problem when using Shape Pro Ground Surface is that a specific FBG is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open FBG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FBG 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 Shape Pro

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Shape Pro is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Shape Pro into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support FBG files.

Programs to open FBG file

Remember to download programs supporting FBG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Shape Pro with FBG files

If, despite the installed application, the FBG file does not start in the Shape Pro 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Shape Pro application as the default for handling the FBG file.

Step 3. Update Shape Pro to the latest version

If, however, after binding Shape Pro with Shape Pro Ground Surface there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Advanced Geo Positioning Solutions, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FBG 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 FBG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FBG file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FBG or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected FBG files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FBG file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FBG file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Advanced Geo Positioning Solutions, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FBG 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move FBG to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FBG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FBG to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FBG file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
