What is JGWX file?

The file in the JGWX format belongs to the GIS Files category. In addition to this file, the GIS Files category includes 255 related files. Blender GIS World Data Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Blender to handle this file. This is a program created by Stichting Blender Foundation. Alternatively, you can use 3 other programs. Blender GIS will apply when it is not possible to use Blender.

How to open JGWX file?

The most common problem when using Blender GIS World Data Format is that a specific JGWX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that JGWX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JGWX 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 Blender

In this case, you should first verify that the Blender application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Blender into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file JGWX.

Programs to open JGWX file

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

Step 2. Create association of Blender with JGWX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JGWX file still does not use the Blender 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Blender application as the default for handling the JGWX file.

Step 3. Update Blender to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Blender program with the Blender GIS World Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Stichting Blender Foundation website and install the latest version.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The JGWX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JGWX file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JGWX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected JGWX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JGWX 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 option of recovering data from damaged JGWX files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JGWX 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the JGWX file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the JGWX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
