The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KGM 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 AutoCAD
In this case, you should first verify that the AutoCAD application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name AutoCAD into the system search engine.

Programs to open KGM file
Remember to download programs supporting KGM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD with KGM files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KGM file to open in the AutoCAD 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 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 set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KGM file with the AutoCAD program.
Step 3. Update AutoCAD to the latest version

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The KGM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KGM file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KGM or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected KGM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of KGM 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular KGM file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KGM files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the KGM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 KGM file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
