The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ZTG 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.

Programs to open ZTG file
Remember to download programs supporting ZTG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ZEMAX with ZTG files
If, despite the installed application, the ZTG file does not start in the ZEMAX application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ZTG file with the ZEMAX program.
Step 3. Update ZEMAX to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ZEMAX program, it is possible that ZEMAX Table Glass requires a newer version of the program.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 ZEMAX Development Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZTG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ZTG files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ZTG or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ZTG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ZTG 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 ZTG files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact ZEMAX Development Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ZTG 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 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 ZTG file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the ZTG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZTG to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ZTG file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
