What is ORD file?
The ORD file has been categorized as Misc Files. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. OMAX Routed Data Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use ORBIT GIS to handle this file. This is a program created by Orbit GeoSpatial Technologies.
How to open ORD file?
The main problem with OMAX Routed Data Format is that the ORD file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ORD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ORD 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 ORBIT GIS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ORBIT GIS is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ORBIT GIS in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ORD files.
Programs to open ORD file
Remember to download programs supporting ORD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ORBIT GIS with ORD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ORD file still does not use the ORBIT GIS program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ORBIT GIS application as the default for handling the ORD file.
Step 3. Update ORBIT GIS to the latest version
If, however, after binding ORBIT GIS with OMAX Routed Data Format 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 Orbit GeoSpatial Technologies website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ORD file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The ORD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ORD file. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ORD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ORD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ORD 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ORD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ORD 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the ORD file to another location.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ORD file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
