How to open MNR file?

The most common problem when using AutoCAD Menu Resource Format is that a specific MNR is not associated with the program. This causes the file MNR 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 MNR 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 AutoCAD

In this case, you should first verify that the AutoCAD application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name AutoCAD into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MNR with AutoCAD. Below you will find a list of applications that support MNR files.

Programs to open MNR file

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

Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD with MNR files

If, despite the installed application, the MNR file does not start in the AutoCAD application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MNR file with the AutoCAD application.

Step 3. Update AutoCAD to the latest version

If, despite the association of the AutoCAD program with the AutoCAD Menu Resource Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Autodesk, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MNR 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MNR file. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MNR file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MNR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MNR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MNR files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Autodesk help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MNR 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 MNR to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the MNR 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 MNR file again. 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.
