How to open TG4 file?
The most common problem when using Tiled Group 4 Raster Image Format is that a specific TG4 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that TG4 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 TG4 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 MicroStation
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MicroStation is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name MicroStation into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file TG4.
Programs to open TG4 file
Remember to download programs supporting TG4 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MicroStation with TG4 files
If, despite the installed application, the TG4 file does not start in the MicroStation 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TG4 file with the MicroStation program.
Step 3. Update MicroStation to the latest version
If, despite the association of the MicroStation program with the Tiled Group 4 Raster Image Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Bentley Systems, Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TG4 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The TG4 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TG4 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TG4 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TG4 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TG4 file. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TG4 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Bentley Systems help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TG4 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move TG4 to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
