HRF file extension
The HRF file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the HRF files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the HRF file on each system platform.
What is HRF file?
The file in the HRF format belongs to the Raster Image Files category. It was designed by Hitachi. Additionally, the Raster Image Files category contains 522 of other files. Hitachi Raster Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the HRF file. PowerView will apply when it is not possible to use CADCore.
How to open HRF file?
The main problem with Hitachi Raster Format is that the HRF file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open HRF, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HRF 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 CADCore
The first step is to check if the computer has the CADCore program installed. To do this, enter the name CADCore into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support HRF files.
Programs to open HRF file
Remember to download programs supporting HRF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CADCore with HRF files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the HRF file to open in the CADCore 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the CADCore application as the default for handling the HRF file.
Step 3. Update CADCore to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CADCore program with the Hitachi Raster Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HRF file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The HRF file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the HRF file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HRF file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HRF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the HRF files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular HRF file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted HRF files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. 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 HRF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HRF to close. However, some background programs may block the HRF file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
