File extension .FMW

File description

FME is short form of Feature Manipulation Engine. This software application is used for data translation and data transformation using Spatial ETL tools.

The tool which is used for data transformation is given name FME Workbench. In order to translate the data the user is required to create workspace and then that workspace is used to create the final translated data. The final file that is created with this process is given extension of FMW. The file contains the data which is to be translated to other format along with the configuration settings that are used by the user for data transformation.

Description of the problem

If you have on your computer a .FMW 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 .FMW extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .FMW 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 .FMW 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 .FMW file does not want to open

In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .FMW 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 .FMW file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .FMW file, so download the update and check again.

2. Incorrect .FMW 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 .FMW 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.
