How to open XLO file?
The main problem with Autodesk Inventor Export Journal is that the XLO file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open XLO, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the XLO 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 Autodesk Inventor
In this case, you should first verify that the Autodesk Inventor application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Autodesk Inventor 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 XLO files.
Programs to open XLO file
Remember to download programs supporting XLO files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Autodesk Inventor with XLO files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XLO file still does not use the Autodesk Inventor program, it means no 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 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 XLO file with the Autodesk Inventor application.
Step 3. Update Autodesk Inventor to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Autodesk Inventor program with the Autodesk Inventor Export Journal file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Autodesk, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XLO file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The XLO file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the XLO file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file XLO or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover XLO files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of XLO file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair XLO file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Autodesk, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted XLO files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the XLO file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XLO file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XLO file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
