How to open PRTPRP file?

The main problem with SolidWorks Part Custom Properties Tab Template is that the PRTPRP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that PRTPRP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PRTPRP 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 SolidWorks

The first step is to check if the computer has the SolidWorks program installed. This can be achieved by typing SolidWorks into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PRTPRP files.

Programs to open PRTPRP file

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

Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with PRTPRP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PRTPRP file still does not use the SolidWorks 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. 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SolidWorks application as the default for handling the PRTPRP file.

Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version

If, however, after binding SolidWorks with SolidWorks Part Custom Properties Tab Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the SolidWorks Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PRTPRP 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 PRTPRP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PRTPRP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PRTPRP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected PRTPRP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PRTPRP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PRTPRP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SolidWorks Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PRTPRP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the PRTPRP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the PRTPRP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. 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.
