How to open P2D file?
The main problem with PointLineCAD 2D Drawing is that the P2D file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open P2D, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the P2D 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 PointLineCAD 2D
In this case, you should first verify that the PointLineCAD 2D application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PointLineCAD 2D into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support P2D files.
Programs to open P2D file
Remember to download programs supporting P2D files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PointLineCAD 2D with P2D files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the P2D file still does not use the PointLineCAD 2D program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the P2D file with the PointLineCAD 2D program.
Step 3. Update PointLineCAD 2D to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PointLineCAD 2D program with the PointLineCAD 2D Drawing file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Point Line CAD AG page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the P2D file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The P2D file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to P2D files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our P2D file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover P2D files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the P2D file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair P2D file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Point Line CAD AG help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted P2D 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the P2D file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file P2D to close. However, some background programs may block the P2D file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
