Programs to open GX2 file

Remember to download programs supporting GX2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of General CADD Pro with GX2 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GX2 file still does not use the General CADD Pro 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. 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 GX2 file with the General CADD Pro application.

Step 3. Update General CADD Pro to the latest version

If, however, after binding General CADD Pro with Generic Cadd there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the General CADD Products, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GX2 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. This suggests truncating the GX2 file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GX2 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GX2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GX2 files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GX2 files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GX2 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move GX2 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GX2 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GX2 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GX2 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
