How to open SKK file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SKK 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 SmartSketch
In this case, you should first verify that the SmartSketch application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SmartSketch into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support SKK files.
Programs to open SKK file
Remember to download programs supporting SKK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SmartSketch with SKK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SKK file to open in the SmartSketch 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SmartSketch application as the default for handling the SKK file.
Step 3. Update SmartSketch to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SmartSketch program, it is possible that SmartSketch Drawing requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Intergraph Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SKK file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SKK file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SKK file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SKK 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 SKK 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SKK files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Intergraph Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SKK files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. 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 SKK file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 SKK file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SKK file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
