How to open VDML file?

An often recurring problem with VectorDraw Drawing is that VDML is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file VDML to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VDML 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 VectorDraw File Converter

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that VectorDraw File Converter is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name VectorDraw File Converter 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 VDML with VectorDraw File Converter. Below is a list of programs that support the file VDML.

Step 2. Create association of VectorDraw File Converter with VDML files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the VDML file still does not use the VectorDraw File Converter program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VDML file with the VectorDraw File Converter application.

Step 3. Update VectorDraw File Converter to the latest version

If, despite the association of the VectorDraw File Converter program with the VectorDraw Drawing 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 VDRAW website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VDML file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VDML file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the VDML file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover VDML files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of VDML 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular VDML file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting VDRAW, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file VDML 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move VDML to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the VDML file is blocked by the first application to open it. 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 this does not work either, restart the device.
