The Quick Way to Open Files with CDX Extension

Different software packages use different file extensions, so if you can't open the CDX file, it could be because:

  • You don't have the associated software on your computer (Visual Foxpro Index, Active Server Document, and MicroStation Cell Library Index are the most popular software packages that use CDX file).

  • You may have Visual Foxpro Index, Active Server Document, or MicroStation Cell Library Index but your computer is not configured to associate CDX files with the relevant software.

  • The file is corrupt.

If You Don't Have Visual Foxpro Index, Active Server Document, or MicroStation Cell Library Index Software Installed

In order to open your CDX file, you will have to download Visual Foxpro Index, Active Server Document, MicroStation Cell Library Index, or another similar software package.

If Your Computer is Not Configured to Open CDX Files

If you have the relevant software, but your computer still won't open the software, you will have to change the file associations on Windows or Mac. Depending on your operating system, you can ensure that your computer always open CDX files using Visual Foxpro Index, Active Server Document, MicroStation Cell Library Index, or another program of your choice that uses CDX files.

If that still doesn't work, you can get in touch with your software developer to find out what you can do. You can contact any of these developers for more information or assistance:
