How to open PWT file?
The main problem with AutoCAD Publish To Web Template is that the PWT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that PWT 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 PWT 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 AutoCAD
In this case, you should first verify that the AutoCAD application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name AutoCAD into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file PWT.
Programs to open PWT file
Remember to download programs supporting PWT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD with PWT files
If, despite the installed application, the PWT file does not start in the AutoCAD application, you must create a file 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. 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 AutoCAD application as the default for handling the PWT file.
Step 3. Update AutoCAD to the latest version
If, however, after binding AutoCAD with AutoCAD Publish To Web Template there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Autodesk, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PWT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The PWT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PWT file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 PWT file. However, remember that not every infected PWT 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 PWT 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 option of recovering data from damaged PWT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Autodesk, 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 file PWT 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move PWT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 PWT file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PWT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
