How to open RDW file?
An often recurring problem with Real-DRAW Project is that RDW is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open RDW, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RDW 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 Real-Draw
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Real-Draw is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Real-Draw 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. Below is a list of programs that support the file RDW.
Programs to open RDW file
Remember to download programs supporting RDW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Real-Draw with RDW files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RDW file to open in the Real-Draw application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RDW file with the Real-Draw program.
Step 3. Update Real-Draw to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Real-Draw program with the Real-DRAW Project file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the www.MediaChance.com website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RDW 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 RDW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RDW file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RDW or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RDW file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of RDW 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RDW files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting www.MediaChance.com, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RDW files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. 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 RDW file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RDW file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RDW file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
