The DPV ( .DPV) file extension is associated with Siemens NX, a product design and manufacturing software suite developed by Siemens Digital Industries Software, a global leader in engineering and technology. The DPV file is used to store 2D drawing data that has been created using the drafting tools available in NX. The DPV files are referenced when creating 2D drawings, while the drawings can also be exported in other formats such as JPG or BMP.
Technical Details
The DPV file extension was developed to store 2D drafting data created using the scripting engine within NX, which enables users to create customised drafting functions. The data stored within the DPV file includes the entity ID numbers, line types, colors and other attributes associated with the 2D drawing. The DPV files contain a structure and rules for the 2D objects used in the drawing, allowing it to be interpreted properly. As each system can have its own version of the same drawing, the format help manage this so that all users are working within a similar standard.
DPV files can be opened using Siemens NX, and other related software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Adobe Illustrator. Files with similar extensions include .DWG (AutoCAD), .SLDDRW (SolidWorks), and .Ai (Adobe Illustrator).
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .DPV) 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 .DPV 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 .DPV 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 .DPV 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 .DPV extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .DPV file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .DPV 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 .DPV file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .DPV file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .DPV file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
