What is SVX file?
The file with the extension SVX is the GIS Files file type. It was designed by The Survex Project. GIS Files consists of 255 similar files. Survex Cavern Data Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Linux, Mac OS, Windows. Alternatively, you can use 5 other programs. You can use Text editor in case Survex cannot be used.
How to open SVX file?
The main problem with Survex Cavern Data Format is that the SVX file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SVX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SVX 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 Survex
In this case, you should first verify that the Survex application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Survex in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SVX with Survex. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SVX files.
Programs to open SVX file
Remember to download programs supporting SVX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Survex with SVX files
If, despite the installed application, the SVX file does not start in the Survex application, you must create a file 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SVX file with the Survex application.
Step 3. Update Survex to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Survex program, it is possible that Survex Cavern Data Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SVX 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 SVX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SVX file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 SVX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SVX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SVX 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SVX files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SVX 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SVX 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SVX 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.
