How to open STPZ file?
An often recurring problem with Catia Compressed STEP Document Format is that STPZ is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that STPZ files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STPZ 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 CATIA
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that CATIA is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name CATIA into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open STPZ files.
Programs to open STPZ file
Remember to download programs supporting STPZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CATIA with STPZ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the STPZ file to open in the CATIA 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 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the STPZ file with the CATIA application.
Step 3. Update CATIA to the latest version
If, however, after binding CATIA with Catia Compressed STEP Document Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Dassault Syst?mes S.A. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STPZ 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the STPZ file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file STPZ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected STPZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of STPZ 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular STPZ 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.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file STPZ 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the STPZ file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file STPZ to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
