How to open SCHDOC file?
The main problem with Altium Designer Schematic Capture Binary is that the SCHDOC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SCHDOC 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 SCHDOC 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 Altium Designer
The first step is to check if the computer has the Altium Designer program installed. To do this, enter the name Altium Designer 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 SCHDOC with Altium Designer. Below is a list of programs that support the file SCHDOC.
Programs to open SCHDOC file
Remember to download programs supporting SCHDOC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Altium Designer with SCHDOC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SCHDOC file to open in the Altium Designer application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 SCHDOC file with the Altium Designer application.
Step 3. Update Altium Designer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Altium Designer program with the Altium Designer Schematic Capture Binary 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 Altium Limited. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SCHDOC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to SCHDOC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 SCHDOC file. Sometimes virus-infected SCHDOC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SCHDOC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SCHDOC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Altium Limited. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SCHDOC 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.
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 SCHDOC 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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
