AF File Complications

Common AF Opening Problems

3DPlus Isn't There

When trying to open your AF file, you get the error "Can't Open AF File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because 3DPlus isn't installed on your PC. The typical path of opening your AF with a double-click won't work because %%os%% cannot make the program connection.

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

3DPlus Requires Update

Your 3DPlus Model file is incompatible with 3DPlus because you might have the wrong version installed. Download the latest 3DPlus version from the Serif website to ensure you have the correct one installed. Most of the time your 3DPlus Model file was created by a newer 3DPlus than what you have installed.

Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the AF file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.

Conclusion: The majority of AF file opening issues are due to not having the correct 3DPlus version installed.

Other AF File Issues

Errors opening 3DPlus Model files can still occur even with the latest 3DPlus software installed on your computer. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening AF files. Other contributing causes:

• Your AF can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
