File extension .APR
| Full Name | Developer | Category |
|---|---|---|
| ArcView Project Format | ESRI | GIS Files |
The APR file extension is associated with .AVX, an ESRI ArcView project file. This file type stores mapfiles, layout texts, drawings, and other project data within a single directory. It includes a main project file and related files in either a text-based or binary format. ArcView 3.x used a text-based project format, while ArcView 8 uses a binary-based format.
Design
ARCVIEW project files have the Layout View object at the top of their tree structure. This object contains the information that makes up schematic views such as frames and lines that compose the document setup. The Main View contains geographic information which can include points, lines, polygons, rasters, and digital photos. Other project components may include tables of geographic information, the legend list object, notes, routefinders, models and legends.
Similar File Types
While ARCVIEW is the primary application associated with APR files there are other applications that also use this extension including APRX, .MXT, and .PMF.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .APR) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .APR extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .APR file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .APR extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .APR extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .APR file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .APR file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .APR file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .APR file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .APR file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
