Can't open the PLMXML file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open PLMXML files as well as a list of programs that support PLMXML files.

The PLMXML file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the PLMXML files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the PLMXML file on each system platform.
What is PLMXML file?
The file with the extension PLMXML is the Document Files file type. In addition to this file, the Document Files category includes 574 related files. PLM XML UGS appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Solid Edge to handle this file. This is a program created by Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc.. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. The CrossManager programs will also handle the file when the Solid Edge program does not fulfill its role.
How to open PLMXML file?
The main problem with PLM XML UGS is that the PLMXML file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that PLMXML files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PLMXML 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 Solid Edge
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Solid Edge is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Solid Edge into the system search engine. 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 PLMXML files.
Programs to open PLMXML file
Remember to download programs supporting PLMXML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Solid Edge with PLMXML files
If, despite the installed application, the PLMXML file does not start in the Solid Edge application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Solid Edge application as the default for handling the PLMXML file.
Step 3. Update Solid Edge to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Solid Edge program with the PLM XML UGS file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PLMXML file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PLMXML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PLMXML file. Sometimes virus-infected PLMXML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PLMXML file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PLMXML file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted PLMXML files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. Copying the PLMXML file to another location will fix the problem.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PLMXML file again. 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.
