Programs to open NTV file
Remember to download programs supporting NTV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PatternSmith with NTV files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the NTV file to open in the PatternSmith application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 NTV file with the PatternSmith application.
Step 3. Update PatternSmith to the latest version
If, however, after binding PatternSmith with PatternSmith Import there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Autometrix website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NTV file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to NTV files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NTV file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NTV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of NTV 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NTV files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Autometrix
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NTV files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move NTV to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the NTV 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 NTV to close. However, some background programs may block the NTV file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
