How to open HW file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the HW 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 Marvelous Designer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Marvelous Designer is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Marvelous Designer in it.

Programs to open HW file
Remember to download programs supporting HW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Marvelous Designer with HW files
If, despite the installed application, the HW file does not start in the Marvelous Designer application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the HW file with the Marvelous Designer program.
Step 3. Update Marvelous Designer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Marvelous Designer program with the Marvelous Designer Hardware ID Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the CLO Virtual Fashion page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HW file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The HW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to HW files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file HW or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected HW files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of HW file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 HW file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted HW 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the HW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the HW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the HW file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
