How to open ULP file?
The most common problem when using EAGLE Script is that a specific ULP is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that ULP 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 ULP 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 EAGLE Layout Editor

Programs to open ULP file
Remember to download programs supporting ULP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of EAGLE Layout Editor with ULP files
If, despite the installed application, the ULP file does not start in the EAGLE Layout Editor 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the EAGLE Layout Editor application as the default for handling the ULP file.
Step 3. Update EAGLE Layout Editor to the latest version
If, however, after binding EAGLE Layout Editor with EAGLE Script there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CadSoft Computer, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ULP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ULP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ULP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ULP 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 ULP 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ULP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CadSoft Computer, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ULP 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ULP file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ULP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ULP to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ULP file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
