How to open TIW file?
The main problem with Bentley InRoads is that the TIW file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file TIW to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TIW 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 InRoads Survey
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that InRoads Survey is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name InRoads Survey in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file TIW with InRoads Survey. Below you will find a list of applications that support TIW files.
Programs to open TIW file
Remember to download programs supporting TIW files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of InRoads Survey with TIW files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TIW file still does not use the InRoads Survey program, it means no 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the InRoads Survey application as the default for handling the TIW file.
Step 3. Update InRoads Survey to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the InRoads Survey program, it is possible that Bentley InRoads requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Bentley Systems, Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TIW file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. 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 TIW file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 TIW file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected TIW file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of TIW file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TIW file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Bentley Systems, Incorporated
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TIW 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the TIW file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TIW file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TIW file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
