How to open ISFF file?

An often recurring problem with Intergraph Standard Format is that ISFF is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ISFF to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ISFF 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 Intergraph Process, Power & Marine

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Intergraph Process, Power & Marine is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Intergraph Process, Power & Marine into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ISFF files.

Programs to open ISFF file

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

Step 2. Create association of Intergraph Process, Power & Marine with ISFF files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ISFF file to open in the Intergraph Process, Power & Marine application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Intergraph Process, Power & Marine application as the default for handling the ISFF file.

Step 3. Update Intergraph Process, Power & Marine to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Intergraph Process, Power & Marine program with the Intergraph Standard 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 Intergraph Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ISFF file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ISFF file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ISFF file. However, remember that not every infected ISFF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ISFF file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ISFF file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Intergraph Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ISFF except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ISFF to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ISFF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ISFF file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
