How to open KOB file?
The most common problem when using Kasemake 3D Object is that a specific KOB is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open KOB, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KOB 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 Kasemake
In this case, you should first verify that the Kasemake application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Kasemake in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support KOB files.
Programs to open KOB file
Remember to download programs supporting KOB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Kasemake with KOB files
If, despite the installed application, the KOB file does not start in the Kasemake 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the KOB file with the Kasemake application.
Step 3. Update Kasemake to the latest version
If, however, after binding Kasemake with Kasemake 3D Object there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the AG/CAD Limited page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KOB 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to KOB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our KOB file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover KOB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KOB file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged KOB files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact AG/CAD Limited
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KOB 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move KOB to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the KOB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KOB file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
