The file in the JT format belongs to the CAD Files category. Additionally, the CAD Files category contains 158 of other files. JT Open CAD Format is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use CATIA to handle this file.

The Inventor, Creo, Pro/Engineer, Solid Edge programs will also handle the file when the CATIA program does not fulfill its role.

How to open JT file?

The most common problem when using JT Open CAD Format is that a specific JT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open JT, 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 JT 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 CATIA

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CATIA is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CATIA in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file JT with CATIA. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open JT files.

Step 2. Create association of CATIA with JT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JT file still does not use the CATIA program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JT file with the CATIA application.

Step 3. Update CATIA to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the CATIA program, it is possible that JT Open CAD Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Dassault Syst?mes S.A. website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the JT file contents when downloading or copying. 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. 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 JT file. However, remember that not every infected JT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of JT 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular JT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file JT 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move JT to a different directory.
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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JT file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
