How to open SKCHR file?
The most common problem when using SketchChair Design Format is that a specific SKCHR is not associated with the program. This causes the file SKCHR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SKCHR 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 SketchChair

Programs to open SKCHR file
Remember to download programs supporting SKCHR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SketchChair with SKCHR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SKCHR file to open in the SketchChair 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 SketchChair application as the default for handling the SKCHR file.
Step 3. Update SketchChair to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SketchChair program, it is possible that SketchChair Design Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Diatom Studio website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SKCHR 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 SKCHR 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SKCHR file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SKCHR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SKCHR 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SKCHR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , 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 SKCHR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the SKCHR file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SKCHR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the SKCHR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
