What is FMZ file?
The file in the FMZ format belongs to the CAD Files category. The author of this format is AutoDesSys. Additionally, the CAD Files category contains 158 of other files. Form-Z Project Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use form-Z to handle this file. This is a program created by AutoDesSys, Inc..
How to open FMZ file?
The most common problem when using Form-Z Project Format is that a specific FMZ is not associated with the program. This causes the file FMZ 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 FMZ 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 form-Z
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that form-Z is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name form-Z in it. 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 FMZ files.
Programs to open FMZ file
Remember to download programs supporting FMZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of form-Z with FMZ files
If, despite the installed application, the FMZ file does not start in the form-Z 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FMZ file with the form-Z program.
Step 3. Update form-Z to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the form-Z program, it is possible that Form-Z Project Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the AutoDesSys, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FMZ file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The FMZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to FMZ 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. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FMZ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FMZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FMZ files changes over time. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FMZ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use AutoDesSys help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FMZ 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the FMZ file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the FMZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FMZ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
