How to open RD5 file?
An often recurring problem with Autodesk Road Aligment is that RD5 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that RD5 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RD5 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 Land Desktop
The first step is to check if the computer has the AutoCAD Land Desktop program installed. This can be achieved by typing AutoCAD Land Desktop 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 RD5 files.
Programs to open RD5 file
Remember to download programs supporting RD5 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD Land Desktop with RD5 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RD5 file to open in the AutoCAD Land Desktop application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RD5 file with the AutoCAD Land Desktop application.
Step 3. Update AutoCAD Land Desktop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the AutoCAD Land Desktop program with the Autodesk Road Aligment file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Autodesk, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RD5 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The RD5 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RD5 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RD5 file. Sometimes virus-infected RD5 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of RD5 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RD5 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Autodesk, Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RD5 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move RD5 to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the RD5 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
