Remember to download programs supporting G15 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Altium Designer with G15 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the G15 file still does not use the Altium Designer 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the G15 file with the Altium Designer program.
Step 3. Update Altium Designer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Altium Designer with CAMtastic Mid Layer 15 Gerber Data 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 Altium Limited. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the G15 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to G15 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our G15 file. Sometimes virus-infected G15 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the G15 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged G15 files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted G15 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move G15 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file G15 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
