How to open SWGR file?

An often recurring problem with ClarisWorks Version 3/4 Drawing is that SWGR is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that SWGR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SWGR 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 ClarisWorks

The first step is to check if the computer has the ClarisWorks program installed. This can be achieved by typing ClarisWorks into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SWGR with ClarisWorks. Below is a list of programs that support the file SWGR.

Programs to open SWGR file

Remember to download programs supporting SWGR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of ClarisWorks with SWGR files

If, despite the installed application, the SWGR file does not start in the ClarisWorks application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 SWGR file with the ClarisWorks application.

Step 3. Update ClarisWorks to the latest version

If, despite the association of the ClarisWorks program with the ClarisWorks Version 3/4 Drawing file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Apple, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SWGR file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The SWGR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SWGR file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SWGR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SWGR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SWGR files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SWGR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SWGR files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SWGR file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SWGR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
