How to open LAYX file?
The most common problem when using PTV VISSIM Vehicle Network Data Format is that a specific LAYX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that LAYX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LAYX 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 PTV Vissim
The first step is to check if the computer has the PTV Vissim program installed. To do this, enter the name PTV Vissim 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 LAYX files.
Programs to open LAYX file
Remember to download programs supporting LAYX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PTV Vissim with LAYX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LAYX file still does not use the PTV Vissim program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the LAYX file with the PTV Vissim program.
Step 3. Update PTV Vissim to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PTV Vissim program with the PTV VISSIM Vehicle Network 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 PTV Group website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LAYX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the LAYX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LAYX file. However, remember that not every infected LAYX 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 LAYX 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LAYX file corruption. 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.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LAYX 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the LAYX file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the LAYX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the LAYX file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
