How to Open PCB File Types with Altium Designer’s PCB Viewer Check out the Altium Designer PCB viewer free download-It’s the best option for accessing PCB layouts in the EDA file format. The viewer takes all formats within the output files, the container for schematics, layouts, and manufacturing files. If Windows recognizes the filename extension, it opens the file in the program that is associated with that filename extension. When Windows does not recognize a filename extension, you receive the following message: Windows can't open this file: example.pcblib To open this file, Windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it.
File with .OPJ extension is used to store CAD project data for PCB (printed circuit board), including project settings and references to files associated with the project, in the form of a text file. It references at least one DNS project file.
OPJ files are created with OrCAD software used for electrical circuit design. This file format serves as a common container for files asscociated with given PCB design blueprint. OPJ files can be opened and edited with any standard text editor, although this is discouraged due to risk of damaging project data.

How to open OPJ files
If you cannot open the OPJ file on your computer - there may be several reasons. The first and most important reason (the most common) is the lack of a suitable software that supports OPJ among those that are installed on your device.
A very simple way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been done – the software supporting the OPJ file can be found in the table. Now just download and install the appropriate application.
Possible problems with the OPJ format files
The inability to open and operate the OPJ file does not necessarily mean that you do not have an appropriate software installed on your computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the OrCAD Capture Project Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a OPJ file which is being opened
- Incorrect links to the OPJ file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the OPJ from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the OPJ format
- The OPJ file which is being opened is infected with an undesirable malware.
- The computer does not have enough hardware resources to cope with the opening of the OPJ file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a OPJ file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of these reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been eliminated), the OPJ file should operate with your programs without any problem. If the problem with the OPJ file has not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is also another rare problem with the OPJ file. In this case, the only you can do is to ask for assistance of a professional staff.

Is there one way to open unknown files?
Many files contain only simple text data. It is possible that while opening unknown files (e.g. OPJ) with a simple text editor like Windows Notepad will allow us to see some of the data encoded in the file. This method allows you to preview the contents of many files, but probably not in such a structure as a program dedicated to support them.

Can I use a universal file viewer?
A universal file viewer is the way to go when you have PCB files that can’t be opened by any other program. Install a universal file viewer like File Magic (Download) and see if it will open your PCB file. Remember that if your file is not compatible, the universal file viewer will only open it in binary format.
