How to open URS file?
The main problem with ControlDraw User Requirement Specifier is that the URS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file URS 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 URS 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 ControlDraw
The first step is to check if the computer has the ControlDraw program installed. This can be achieved by typing ControlDraw into the operating 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 URS.
Programs to open URS file
Remember to download programs supporting URS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ControlDraw with URS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the URS file to open in the ControlDraw application, but you can set it manually. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 URS file with the ControlDraw program.
Step 3. Update ControlDraw to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ControlDraw program, it is possible that ControlDraw User Requirement Specifier requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ControlDraw Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the URS 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 URS 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file URS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected URS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of URS 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged URS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use ControlDraw Ltd. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted URS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the URS file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the URS 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 URS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
