How to open RD3F file?

The main problem with CorelDRAW CorelDream 3D is that the RD3F file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that RD3F 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 RD3F 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 CorelDRAW

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CorelDRAW is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing CorelDRAW into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RD3F with CorelDRAW. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open RD3F files.

Programs to open RD3F file

Remember to download programs supporting RD3F files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of CorelDRAW with RD3F files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RD3F file still does not use the CorelDRAW program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 RD3F file with the CorelDRAW program.

Step 3. Update CorelDRAW to the latest version

If, however, after binding CorelDRAW with CorelDRAW CorelDream 3D there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Corel Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RD3F 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the RD3F file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RD3F or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RD3F files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of RD3F file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RD3F file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Corel Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RD3F 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the RD3F file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the RD3F file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the RD3F file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
