How to open M_P file?

The main problem with Pro/ENGINEER Temporary is that the M_P file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file M_P to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the M_P 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 Pro/Engineer

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Pro/Engineer is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Pro/Engineer into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file M_P with Pro/Engineer. Below is a list of programs that support the file M_P.

Programs to open M_P file

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

Step 2. Create association of Pro/Engineer with M_P files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the M_P file to open in the Pro/Engineer application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Pro/Engineer application as the default for handling the M_P file.

Step 3. Update Pro/Engineer to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Pro/Engineer program with the Pro/ENGINEER Temporary file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the M_P file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file M_P or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected M_P files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of M_P file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair M_P file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted M_P 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the M_P file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the M_P file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file M_P to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the M_P file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
