It is recommended to use Topocad to handle this file. This is a program created by Adtollo.
How to open PXY file?
An often recurring problem with Topocad is that PXY is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PXY to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PXY 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 Topocad
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Topocad is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Topocad 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 PXY files.
Programs to open PXY file
Remember to download programs supporting PXY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Topocad with PXY files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PXY file to open in the Topocad 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. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PXY file with the Topocad program.
Step 3. Update Topocad to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Topocad program, it is possible that Topocad requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Adtollo website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PXY file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The PXY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PXY file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PXY or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PXY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PXY files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PXY file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Adtollo, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PXY 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PXY to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file PXY to close. However, some background programs may block the PXY file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
