Troubleshooting Problems Opening 70 Files
Common Problems Opening 70 Files
Pro/ENGINEER Disappeared
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open 70 Files" when trying to open your 70. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Pro/ENGINEER isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your 70 because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: If you don't have Pro/ENGINEER installed, and you know of another program to open your 70 file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".
Obsolete Version of Pro/ENGINEER
It is possible that your version of Pro/ENGINEER isn't able to open your Creo Elements/Pro Versioned Data file due to incompatibility. If you've got the wrong version of Pro/ENGINEER installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Your Creo Elements/Pro Versioned Data file was probably created by a newer release of Pro/ENGINEER than what's currently installed your computer.
Tip: Sometimes you can get a clue about the version of 70 file you have by right clicking on the file, then clicking on "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac OSX).
Conclusion: The majority of 70 file opening issues are due to not having the correct Pro/ENGINEER version installed.
