The .ATX file extension is a data storage format created by Esri and used in their ArcGIS software suite. A feature of the .ATX file type is that it acts as both an attribute index and replace feature for database tables which are associated with ArcGIS objects. This type of file is stored in a binary format and helps users to quickly create a search index related to any spatial data in their table.
A standard .ATX file contains information related to attributes such as field values, field lengths, object ids, etc. as well as other related data used in ArcGIS. Additionally, this type of file also stores the order of the fields within a table structure. Keeping all these attributes inside an .ATX file allows users to keep a secondary structure for query purposes and with all these features, users can quickly access different parts of a spatial database.

Other similar data extensions include: .SMX, .GDL, .SDX, and .IDX, all containing similar data structures to the
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ATX) 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 .ATX 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 .ATX 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 .ATX 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 .ATX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ATX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ATX 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 .ATX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ATX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ATX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
