The SBP file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the SBP files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the SBP file on each system platform.
What is SBP file?
The SBP file has been categorized as CAD Files. It was designed by OpenSBP Group. Additionally, the CAD Files category contains 158 of other files. OpenSBP CNC Program Format is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the SBP file. You can use VisEdit in case PartWorks cannot be used.
How to open SBP file?
The main problem with OpenSBP CNC Program Format is that the SBP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SBP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SBP 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 PartWorks
In this case, you should first verify that the PartWorks application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing PartWorks into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SBP with PartWorks. Below you will find a list of applications that support SBP files.
Programs to open SBP file
Remember to download programs supporting SBP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PartWorks with SBP files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SBP file still does not use the PartWorks program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 SBP file with the PartWorks application.
Step 3. Update PartWorks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PartWorks program with the OpenSBP CNC Program Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SBP file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SBP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SBP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SBP 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 SBP 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SBP file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SBP 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SBP 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SBP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SBP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
