Step 2. Create association of CorelDRAW with RD3 files

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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RD3 file with the CorelDRAW application.
Step 3. Update CorelDRAW to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the CorelDRAW program, it is possible that CorelDRAW CorelDream 3D requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Corel Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RD3 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The RD3 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RD3 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the RD3 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RD3 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RD3 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RD3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Corel Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RD3 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. 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 RD3 file to another location.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RD3 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.
