The main program that supports this format is TopSolid. This was created by TopSolid.
How to open PNL file?
An often recurring problem with TopSolid Nesting Module is that PNL is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PNL 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 PNL 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 TopSolid
In this case, you should first verify that the TopSolid application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TopSolid into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PNL with TopSolid. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PNL files.
Programs to open PNL file
Remember to download programs supporting PNL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TopSolid with PNL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PNL file to open in the TopSolid application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PNL file with the TopSolid program.
Step 3. Update TopSolid to the latest version
If, however, after binding TopSolid with TopSolid Nesting Module there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the TopSolid website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PNL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to PNL 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 PNL file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PNL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PNL files changes over time. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular PNL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Missler Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PNL 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the PNL file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PNL to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PNL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
