What is RND file?

The file in the RND format belongs to the CAD Files category. The author of this format is Autodesk. In addition to this file, the CAD Files category includes 158 related files. AutoCAD Autoshade Rendering Slide Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is AutoCAD. This was created by Autodesk, Inc..

How to open RND file?

The main problem with AutoCAD Autoshade Rendering Slide Format is that the RND file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file RND to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RND 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

In this case, you should first verify that the AutoCAD application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name AutoCAD into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RND with AutoCAD. Below is a list of programs that support the file RND.

Programs to open RND file

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

Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD with RND files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RND file to open in the AutoCAD 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RND file with the AutoCAD program.

Step 3. Update AutoCAD to the latest version

If, despite the association of the AutoCAD program with the AutoCAD Autoshade Rendering Slide Format 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 Autodesk, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RND 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 RND file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RND file. Sometimes virus-infected RND files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RND file. 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 ability to automatically repair RND file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Autodesk
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted RND 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move RND to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RND to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RND file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
