How to open PNE file?

The most common problem when using ArchiCAD 9 Education Format is that a specific PNE is not associated with the program. This causes the file PNE 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 PNE 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 ArchiCAD

The first step is to check if the computer has the ArchiCAD program installed. To do this, enter the name ArchiCAD into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file PNE.

Programs to open PNE file

Remember to download programs supporting PNE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ArchiCAD with PNE files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PNE file still does not use the ArchiCAD 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PNE file with the ArchiCAD application.

Step 3. Update ArchiCAD to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the ArchiCAD program, it is possible that ArchiCAD 9 Education Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Graphisoft website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PNE 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PNE 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PNE or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PNE 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 PNE 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PNE file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Graphisoft help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PNE 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PNE to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PNE to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PNE file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
