Understanding MKD Issues


Typical MKD Opening Challenges

Missing CAD6 Studio

You attempt to load your MKD file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The MKD File Extension". Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because CAD6 Studio isn't installed on your PC. The OS won't know what to do with your MKD file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you don't have CAD6 Studio installed, and you know of another program to open your MKD file, you can try opening it by selecting from the programs listed under "Show Apps".


Wrong Version of CAD6 Studio is Installed

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of CAD6 Studio installed that's incompatible with your CAD 6 Drawing File type. Download the latest CAD6 Studio version from the Malz++Kassner website to ensure you have the correct one installed. The primary cause of this problem is that your CAD 6 Drawing File file was created by a different (newer) version of CAD6 Studio than what's installed.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your MKD file and clicking "Properties".


Conclusion: The majority of MKD file opening issues are due to not having the correct CAD6 Studio version installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading MKD Files

You can still experience errors opening MKD files even with the latest version of CAD6 Studio installed on your PC. If you are continuing to have errors with loading MKD files, other external issues might be to blame. Other contributing causes:

  • MKD file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the MKD file inside the Windows Registry
  • CAD6 Studio or another MKD application experienced a flawed installation
  • Your MKD file is corrupted (issues with your CAD 6 Drawing File file itself)
  • Your MKD has adversely impacted by malware
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your MKD file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your CAD 6 Drawing File file successfully
