71 File Complications


Common 71 Opening Problems

Missing Pro/ENGINEER

If you attempt to load your 71 file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open 71 Files". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because Pro/ENGINEER isn't installed on your PC. This will prevent you from double-clicking to open the 71 file because the OS doesn’t know how to handle it.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens 71 files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Pro/ENGINEER Requires Update

It is possible that your version of Pro/ENGINEER isn't able to open your Creo Elements/Pro Versioned Data file due to incompatibility. Visit the PTC website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Pro/ENGINEER. This issue mainly occurs when your Creo Elements/Pro Versioned Data file was created by a newer version of Pro/ENGINEER than you have on your PC.


Tip: If you right-click on your 71 file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Regardless, most of the 71 file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Pro/ENGINEER installed.


More Causes of Problems Opening 71s

Even with the correct version of Pro/ENGINEER installed, you can still experience difficulties opening 71s. Other 71 opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for 71
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry 71 description
  • Defective install of a 71 program, such as Pro/ENGINEER
  • Your 71 file is corrupted (issues with your Creo Elements/Pro Versioned Data file itself)
  • Malware-tainted 71 file can't be opened
  • Hardware associated with 71 has outdated drivers
  • Windows has inadequate resources to open your Creo Elements/Pro Versioned Data file
