Programs to open RWK file
Remember to download programs supporting RWK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Bentley InRoads with RWK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RWK file to open in the Bentley InRoads 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 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RWK file with the Bentley InRoads application.
Step 3. Update Bentley InRoads to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Bentley InRoads program with the Bentley InRoads Project 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 Bentley Systems, Incorporated page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RWK file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The RWK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the RWK file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RWK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RWK file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of RWK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RWK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Bentley Systems, Incorporated help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RWK 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move RWK to a different directory.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RWK file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
