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.

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.
