How to open FTD file?
The most common problem when using FFT Designer Project is that a specific FTD is not associated with the program. This causes the file FTD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FTD 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 FFT Designer
The first step is to check if the computer has the FFT Designer program installed. To do this, enter the name FFT Designer into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FTD files.
Programs to open FTD file
Remember to download programs supporting FTD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of FFT Designer with FTD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FTD file still does not use the FFT Designer program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 FTD file with the FFT Designer program.
Step 3. Update FFT Designer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the FFT Designer program with the FFT Designer Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the RHDC Services Ltd website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FTD 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 FTD 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 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our FTD file. Sometimes virus-infected FTD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of FTD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FTD files. You can restore the file from a backup or use RHDC Services Ltd help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FTD 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the FTD file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FTD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FTD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
