The PGWX file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the PGWX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the PGWX file on each system platform.
What is PGWX file?
The PGWX file has been categorized as GIS Files. GIS Files consists of 255 similar files. Blender GIS World Data Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Blender. This was created by Stichting Blender Foundation. Alternatively, you can use 3 other programs. You can use Blender GIS in case Blender cannot be used.
How to open PGWX file?
An often recurring problem with Blender GIS World Data Format is that PGWX is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PGWX 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 PGWX 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 Blender
In this case, you should first verify that the Blender application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Blender 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 PGWX files.
Programs to open PGWX file
Remember to download programs supporting PGWX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Blender with PGWX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PGWX file to open in the Blender application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PGWX file with the Blender application.
Step 3. Update Blender to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Blender program with the Blender GIS World Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Stichting Blender Foundation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PGWX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The PGWX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PGWX file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PGWX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PGWX 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 PGWX 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PGWX files. 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PGWX 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PGWX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PGWX 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. However, some background programs may block the PGWX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
