How to open XLI file?

An often recurring problem with SIEMENS PLM Software NX 7.5 Log is that XLI is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file XLI 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 XLI 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 NX

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that NX is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name NX into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support XLI files.

Programs to open XLI file

Remember to download programs supporting XLI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of NX with XLI files

If, despite the installed application, the XLI file does not start in the NX application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the XLI file with the NX application.

Step 3. Update NX to the latest version

If, despite the association of the NX program with the SIEMENS PLM Software NX 7.5 Log 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 Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XLI file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XLI file. Sometimes virus-infected XLI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XLI file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged XLI files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Siemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted XLI 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the XLI file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the XLI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the XLI file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
