How to open XMX file?
An often recurring problem with AutoCAD External Message Compiled is that XMX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file XMX 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 XMX 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 AutoCAD
The first step is to check if the computer has the AutoCAD program installed. This can be achieved by typing AutoCAD into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support XMX files.
Programs to open XMX file
Remember to download programs supporting XMX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD with XMX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the XMX file still does not use the AutoCAD program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of 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 AutoCAD application as the default for handling the XMX file.
Step 3. Update AutoCAD to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the AutoCAD program, it is possible that AutoCAD External Message Compiled requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Autodesk, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XMX 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:
The XMX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to XMX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XMX file. Sometimes virus-infected XMX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the XMX 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular XMX 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 file XMX 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 XMX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the XMX file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
