File extension .DED

File description

Dr. Engrave is software application which is used for engraving on plates and other products. The software uses DED file format to save the engraving design for the specific plate.

The software is compatible with a number of engraving machines and therefore the user can use their specific configuration for an engraving machine. The DED file stores the original design or the shape of the product after engraving along with the details of the different tools and type of machine used. This information is then used by the user to engrave. The user can either add text, graphics or can use image file for engraving.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .DED file that you cannot open, you are in exactly the same situation as thousands of other people who have similar problems with this or any other unknown file.

There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .DED extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .DED file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.

Solution

From the list below, select the appropriate program, install it and double click on the icon of a file that did not want to open - the problem with the .DED file extension should be solved. However, if this does not happen, go back to the website to learn about other possible causes of the error, which have been described at the bottom of the website.

Other possible reasons why your .DED file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .DED file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:

1. Incorrect version of the installed application

A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .DED file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .DED file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .DED file association with the program

If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:

Right-click the .DED file
Go to the "Open with" - then "Choose default program ..."
Locate the appropriate application
Click "OK"

3. The file is corrupt

It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
