How to open PZD file?

An often recurring problem with Pocket Zone Drawing is that PZD is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PZD 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 PZD 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 Pocket Zone

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Pocket Zone is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Pocket Zone into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support PZD files.

Programs to open PZD file

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

Step 2. Create association of Pocket Zone with PZD files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PZD file still does not use the Pocket Zone 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Pocket Zone application as the default for handling the PZD file.

Step 3. Update Pocket Zone to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Pocket Zone program with the Pocket Zone Drawing file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the The CAD Zone, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PZD 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the PZD file. 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the PZD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PZD 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 PZD 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PZD files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting The CAD Zone, Inc., 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 PZD 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the PZD file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PZD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PZD file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
