The FMP file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the FMP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the FMP file on each system platform.
What is FMP file?
The FMP file has been categorized as Settings Files. It was designed by Autodesk. In addition to this file, the Settings Files category includes 1305 related files. AutoCAD Font Map Format is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is AutoCAD. This was created by Autodesk, Inc..
How to open FMP file?
An often recurring problem with AutoCAD Font Map Format is that FMP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file FMP 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 FMP 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. To do this, enter the name AutoCAD 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 FMP files.
Programs to open FMP file
Remember to download programs supporting FMP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD with FMP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FMP file still does not use the AutoCAD program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 FMP file with the AutoCAD application.
Step 3. Update AutoCAD to the latest version
If, however, after binding AutoCAD with AutoCAD Font Map Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest 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 FMP 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to FMP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FMP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FMP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FMP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FMP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Autodesk, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FMP 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. Copying the FMP file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FMP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
