Troubleshoot PRT Files

Common PRT Opening Problems

Autodesk Fusion 360 Disappeared

Double-clicking your PRT file prompts the message "%%os%% Can't Open PRT File". If so, it typically means that you don't have Autodesk Fusion 360 installed for %%os%%. Your operating system cannot associate your PRT with Autodesk Fusion 360, so double-clicking the file won't work.

Tip: When you have another program installed that you know will open your PRT, you can select it from the other programs listed (see "Show Apps").

Autodesk Fusion 360 Requires Update

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Pro/ENGINEER Part File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of Autodesk Fusion 360 from Autodesk, Inc. is recommended. This problem is predominately due to having a Pro/ENGINEER Part File file version that was created by a newer version of Autodesk Fusion 360 than what you have installed on your PC.

Tip: Investigate your PRT file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.

Regardless, most of the PRT file opening problems relate to not having the right version of Autodesk Fusion 360 installed.

More Causes of Problems Opening PRTs

Assuming you have the right Autodesk Fusion 360 version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening PRT files. If you are still having problems opening PRT files, there may be other issues that are preventing you from opening these files. These other problems include (listed in order from most to least common):

• File references in the Windows Registry for PRT are wrong
• Deletion of the PRT file description from the Registry by mistake
• Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the PRT format
• The PRT itself is corrupted
• PRT file integrity has been compromised by malware
• Hardware associated with PRT has outdated drivers
• Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Pro/ENGINEER Part File file successfully
