The DES file extension is associated with the Corel DESIGNER, a technical drawing program released by Corel, which was formerly known as Micrografix DESIGNER. It is a vector based drawing program, designed to work with large format technical drawings including engineering and architectural designs. The software works with two distinct file formats, DES files and DES7 files. Both contain a similar set of data relating to vector graphics created in the software but use different names, which may become confusing particularly as the.DES7 format has been replaced with the newer.DES format from Corel DESIGNER.
Main Features
The.DES and.DES7 files created in Corel DESIGNER have of a range features deeply integrated into the software that makes them stand out from other document formats and drawing programs. These include an sophisticated set of layout grids and text styles alongside complex specialized objects such as symbols, CAD drawings and meshes. Web graphics created in the program have page-layout structure for HTML documents included in the design, while many involved in technical drawing can take advantage of intelligent connectors for smart connection and precision placement of objects.
Similar Formats
There are several other file formats used for technical drawings which may appear similar to DES, such as .DXF, .DWG, .CGM, .IGES, .3DS etc. However, all of these formats are very different in terms of the data structure, meaning applications that support them must be used for each individual type. Data imported or exported from one format to another will generally require conversion prior to use.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DES) 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 .DES 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 .DES 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 .DES 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 .DES extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DES file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DES 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 .DES file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DES file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DES file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
