How to open UCD file?
An often recurring problem with Prosa Diagram is that UCD is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that UCD 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 UCD 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 PROSA Modeller Edition
In this case, you should first verify that the PROSA Modeller Edition application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name PROSA Modeller Edition into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file UCD with PROSA Modeller Edition. Below you will find a list of applications that support UCD files.
Programs to open UCD file
Remember to download programs supporting UCD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PROSA Modeller Edition with UCD files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UCD file still does not use the PROSA Modeller Edition program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the PROSA Modeller Edition application as the default for handling the UCD file.
Step 3. Update PROSA Modeller Edition to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PROSA Modeller Edition program with the Prosa Diagram file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Insoft Oy. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UCD 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 UCD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to UCD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UCD file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected UCD files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of UCD file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged UCD files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Insoft Oy., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UCD 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.
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. It is best to move UCD to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the UCD file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UCD file again. However, some background programs may block the UCD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
