How to open MDZIP file?

An often recurring problem with MagicDraw Project Archive is that MDZIP is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that MDZIP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MDZIP 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 MagicDraw

If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file MDZIP.

Programs to open MDZIP file

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

Step 2. Create association of MagicDraw with MDZIP files

If, despite the installed application, the MDZIP file does not start in the MagicDraw application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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 select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MDZIP file with the MagicDraw application.

Step 3. Update MagicDraw to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the MagicDraw program, it is possible that MagicDraw Project Archive requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the No Magic, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MDZIP 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MDZIP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 MDZIP file. However, remember that not every infected MDZIP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MDZIP files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MDZIP file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use No Magic help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MDZIP 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MDZIP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MDZIP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MDZIP to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
