How to open 2CD file?
The most common problem when using DoubleCAD CAD is that a specific 2CD is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open 2CD, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the 2CD file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install TurboCAD
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TurboCAD is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name TurboCAD into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file 2CD.
Programs to open 2CD file
Remember to download programs supporting 2CD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TurboCAD with 2CD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the 2CD file to open in the TurboCAD application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the 2CD file with the TurboCAD program.
Step 3. Update TurboCAD to the latest version
If, however, after binding TurboCAD with DoubleCAD CAD there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the IMSI/Design, LLC. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the 2CD file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The 2CD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to 2CD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the 2CD file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover 2CD files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the 2CD files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged 2CD files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting IMSI/Design, LLC., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file 2CD except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the 2CD file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the 2CD file again. However, some background programs may block the 2CD file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
