File extension .FDS

The .FDS file extension is associated with the FME Custom Format File. This extension is used for data exchange, and it contains settings that can be applied for various FME formats, including coding syntax, field delimiter storage that defines how data records will be delimited, and the order of those records.
The syntax in FME Custom Format Files is based on FME workspace configuration files. These include mappings (systems of coordinates), attributes (which can include date fields, text strings, and numeric values) and relations (join operations between the datasets). These settings establish which data can be exchanged and what format it will take. The records can also be compressed to reduce file size.
Similar File Extensions
The.FDS format can also contain object type definitions and palette information. Some similar file extensions include .FMF, .FFS, and .FDC.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FDS) 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 .FDS 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 .FDS 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 .FDS 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 .FDS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FDS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FDS 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 .FDS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FDS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FDS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
