The WaterCAD application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Bentley Systems, Incorporated.
How to open C2W file?
The main problem with WaterCAD is that the C2W file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file C2W to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C2W 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 WaterCAD
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WaterCAD is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WaterCAD into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file C2W.
Programs to open C2W file
Remember to download programs supporting C2W files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WaterCAD with C2W files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the C2W file still does not use the WaterCAD program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the C2W file with the WaterCAD application.
Step 3. Update WaterCAD to the latest version
If, however, after binding WaterCAD with WaterCAD there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Bentley Systems, Incorporated website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C2W file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The C2W file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the C2W file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the C2W file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover C2W files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the C2W file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular C2W file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Bentley Systems, Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted C2W files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move C2W to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the C2W file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the C2W file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
