How to open MSJ file?

The most common problem when using MicroSurvey CAD Temporary is that a specific MSJ is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MSJ 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 MSJ 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 Microsurvey CAD

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsurvey CAD is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Microsurvey CAD 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 MSJ with Microsurvey CAD. Below you will find a list of applications that support MSJ files.

Programs to open MSJ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Microsurvey CAD with MSJ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MSJ file still does not use the Microsurvey CAD program, it means no 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. 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 Microsurvey CAD application as the default for handling the MSJ file.

Step 3. Update Microsurvey CAD to the latest version

If, however, after binding Microsurvey CAD with MicroSurvey CAD Temporary there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the MicroSurvey Software Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MSJ 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:

The MSJ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MSJ file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 MSJ file. However, remember that not every infected MSJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MSJ 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MSJ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use MicroSurvey Software Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MSJ 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 MSJ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MSJ to close. However, some background programs may block the MSJ file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
