The PTH file is supported on 2 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the PTH files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the PTH file on each system platform.
What is PTH file?
The file in the PTH format belongs to the Misc Files category. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. 4D Path Document appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs.
How to open PTH file?
The main problem with 4D Path Document is that the PTH file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open PTH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PTH 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 4D Client
In this case, you should first verify that the 4D Client application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name 4D Client into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file PTH with 4D Client. Below you will find a list of applications that support PTH files.
Programs to open PTH file
Remember to download programs supporting PTH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 4D Client with PTH files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PTH file to open in the 4D Client 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PTH file with the 4D Client program.
Step 3. Update 4D Client to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the 4D Client program, it is possible that 4D Path Document requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PTH file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PTH 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PTH file. However, remember that not every infected PTH file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PTH files changes over time. 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 PTH file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PTH 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PTH to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PTH to close. However, some background programs may block the PTH file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
