How to open RNL file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RNL 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 GTXRaster CAD

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 RNL.

Programs to open RNL file

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

Step 2. Create association of GTXRaster CAD with RNL files

If, despite the installed application, the RNL file does not start in the GTXRaster CAD application, you must create a file association. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GTXRaster CAD application as the default for handling the RNL file.

Step 3. Update GTXRaster CAD to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the GTXRaster CAD program, it is possible that GTX Runlength Encoded Bitmap Graphics requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the GTX Europe Ltd. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RNL file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to RNL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RNL or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected RNL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RNL files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RNL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, 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 RNL 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. Copying the RNL file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RNL to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RNL file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
