Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD with NFL files
If, despite the installed application, the NFL 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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.

If, however, after binding AutoCAD with AutoCAD Multiline Filter List 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 Autodesk, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the NFL file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NFL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NFL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of NFL 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NFL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Autodesk, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NFL except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the NFL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NFL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NFL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NFL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
