How to open CAM-PKG file?

An often recurring problem with CircuitCAM Design Package Format is that CAM-PKG is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open CAM-PKG, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

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

In this case, you should first verify that the CircuitCAM application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CircuitCAM in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CAM-PKG with CircuitCAM. Below you will find a list of applications that support CAM-PKG files.

Programs to open CAM-PKG file

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

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

If, despite the installed application, the CAM-PKG file does not start in the CircuitCAM application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CAM-PKG file with the CircuitCAM program.

Step 3. Update CircuitCAM to the latest version

If, however, after binding CircuitCAM with CircuitCAM Design Package Format 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 LKSoftWare GmbH website and install the latest version.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to CAM-PKG 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. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file CAM-PKG or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected CAM-PKG file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CAM-PKG 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CAM-PKG file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file CAM-PKG 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. It is best to move CAM-PKG to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CAM-PKG file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
