How to open MFG file?
An often recurring problem with ProEngineer Manufacturing is that MFG is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file MFG 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 MFG 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Pro/Engineer program installed. 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 MFG with Pro/Engineer. Below you will find a list of applications that support MFG files.
Programs to open MFG file
Remember to download programs supporting MFG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Pro/Engineer with MFG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MFG file to open in the Pro/Engineer 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MFG file with the Pro/Engineer program.
Step 3. Update Pro/Engineer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Pro/Engineer with ProEngineer Manufacturing there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MFG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The MFG file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to MFG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our MFG file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MFG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of MFG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MFG file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MFG 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. If possible, you can try to move the MFG file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the MFG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MFG file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MFG file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
