What is CACHE2 file?

The CACHE2 file has been categorized as Misc Files. The author of this format is Parametric Technology Corporation. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files.

How to open CACHE2 file?

The main problem with Pro/ENGINEER is that the CACHE2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file CACHE2 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CACHE2 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 Pro/Engineer

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Pro/Engineer is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Pro/Engineer 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 CACHE2 with Pro/Engineer. Below you will find a list of applications that support CACHE2 files.

Programs to open CACHE2 file

Remember to download programs supporting CACHE2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Pro/Engineer with CACHE2 files

If, despite the installed application, the CACHE2 file does not start in the Pro/Engineer application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 CACHE2 file with the Pro/Engineer program.

Step 3. Update Pro/Engineer to the latest version

If, however, after binding Pro/Engineer with Pro/ENGINEER there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CACHE2 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The CACHE2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CACHE2 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CACHE2 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected CACHE2 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CACHE2 file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CACHE2 file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CACHE2 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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. It is best to move CACHE2 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CACHE2 file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
