How to open FWF file?
The most common problem when using Bentley InRoads Survey Feature Table is that a specific FWF is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open FWF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FWF 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 Bentley InRoads
The first step is to check if the computer has the Bentley InRoads program installed. To do this, enter the name Bentley InRoads into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FWF with Bentley InRoads. Below you will find a list of applications that support FWF files.
Programs to open FWF file
Remember to download programs supporting FWF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Bentley InRoads with FWF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FWF file to open in the Bentley InRoads application, but you can set it manually. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FWF file with the Bentley InRoads application.
Step 3. Update Bentley InRoads to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Bentley InRoads program with the Bentley InRoads Survey Feature Table 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 Bentley Systems, Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FWF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FWF file. 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FWF file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FWF files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the FWF file. 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FWF file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Bentley Systems, Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FWF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the FWF file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FWF file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FWF file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
