How to open CAM-FT file?

The most common problem when using CircuitCAM Footpring Data Format is that a specific CAM-FT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CAM-FT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CAM-FT 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 CircuitCAM

The first step is to check if the computer has the CircuitCAM program installed. This can be achieved by typing CircuitCAM into the operating 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 CAM-FT.

Step 2. Create association of CircuitCAM with CAM-FT files

If, despite the installed application, the CAM-FT file does not start in the CircuitCAM 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. 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. 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 CAM-FT file with the CircuitCAM program.

Step 3. Update CircuitCAM to the latest version

If, despite the association of the CircuitCAM program with the CircuitCAM Footpring Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the LKSoftWare GmbH page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CAM-FT file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The CAM-FT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CAM-FT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CAM-FT file. Sometimes virus-infected CAM-FT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CAM-FT files changes over time. 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 option of recovering data from damaged CAM-FT files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted CAM-FT 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. 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 CAM-FT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the CAM-FT 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. 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.
