How to open OUTJOB file?
The most common problem when using Altium Designer Data Format is that a specific OUTJOB is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that OUTJOB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OUTJOB 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 Altium Designer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Altium Designer is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Altium Designer 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 OUTJOB with Altium Designer. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open OUTJOB files.
Programs to open OUTJOB file
Remember to download programs supporting OUTJOB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Altium Designer with OUTJOB files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the OUTJOB file still does not use the Altium Designer 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 Altium Designer application as the default for handling the OUTJOB file.
Step 3. Update Altium Designer to the latest version
If, however, after binding Altium Designer with Altium Designer 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 Altium Limited. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OUTJOB 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:
The OUTJOB file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the OUTJOB file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OUTJOB file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover OUTJOB files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of OUTJOB file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair OUTJOB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted OUTJOB 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. It is best to move OUTJOB to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the OUTJOB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
