The PGML file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the PGML files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the PGML file on each system platform.
What is PGML file?
The PGML file has been categorized as Developer Files. Developer Files consists of 1205 similar files. Precision Graphics Markup Language Format Format is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Argo UML to handle this file. This is a program created by Tigris.org.
How to open PGML file?
The most common problem when using Precision Graphics Markup Language Format Format is that a specific PGML is not associated with the program. This causes the file PGML to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PGML 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 Argo UML
In this case, you should first verify that the Argo UML application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Argo UML into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PGML with Argo UML. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PGML files.
Programs to open PGML file
Remember to download programs supporting PGML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Argo UML with PGML files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PGML file still does not use the Argo UML 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 PGML file with the Argo UML program.
Step 3. Update Argo UML to the latest version
If, however, after binding Argo UML with Precision Graphics Markup Language Format Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Tigris.org page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PGML 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PGML file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PGML file. Sometimes virus-infected PGML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PGML files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PGML file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PGML 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 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 PGML to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
