How to open C6 file?

The most common problem when using Organic 2D/3D Drafting & 3D Modelling is that a specific C6 is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that C6 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the C6 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 Cobalt

In this case, you should first verify that the Cobalt application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Cobalt into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file C6 with Cobalt. Below you will find a list of applications that support C6 files.

Programs to open C6 file

Remember to download programs supporting C6 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Cobalt with C6 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the C6 file still does not use the Cobalt program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the C6 file with the Cobalt program.

Step 3. Update Cobalt to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Cobalt program with the Organic 2D/3D Drafting & 3D Modelling file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Vellum Investment Partners, LLC website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the C6 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to C6 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the C6 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected C6 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of C6 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular C6 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Ashlar Incorporated help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file C6 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the C6 file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the C6 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the C6 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
