Understanding CSF Issues

Frequent CSF Opening Issues

You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open CSF Files" when trying to open your CSF. If so, it typically means that you don't have Intergraph GeoMedia installed for %%os%%. The typical path of opening your CSF with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

Tip: If you know of another program that can open your CSF file, you can try opening it by selecting the application from the programs listed.
