LXF File Complications


Troubles Opening LXF Files

LEGO Digital Designer Not Present

When you double-click your LXF file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because LEGO Digital Designer isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your LXF file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you don't have LEGO Digital Designer installed, and you know of another program to open your LXF file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


LEGO Digital Designer is Out-of-Date

In other instances, your LEGO Digital Designer Model File file version may not be supported by your version of LEGO Digital Designer. Visit the The LEGO Group website to download (or purchase) the latest version of LEGO Digital Designer. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


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


Conclusion: The majority of LXF file opening issues are due to not having the correct LEGO Digital Designer version installed.


More Causes of Problems Opening LXFs

Assuming you have the right LEGO Digital Designer version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening LXF files. Other LXF opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Other contributing causes:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for LXF
  • The LXF file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Invalid installation of a LXF-associated program (eg. LEGO Digital Designer)
  • File corruption affecting your LXF file
