What is CIRC file?
The file with the extension CIRC is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Logisim Team. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. Logisim Circuit appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The Logism application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Logisim Team.
How to open CIRC file?
The most common problem when using Logisim Circuit is that a specific CIRC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open CIRC, 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 CIRC 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 Logism
The first step is to check if the computer has the Logism program installed. To do this, enter the name Logism into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CIRC files.
Programs to open CIRC file
Remember to download programs supporting CIRC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Logism with CIRC files
If, despite the installed application, the CIRC file does not start in the Logism application, you must create a file 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 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Logism application as the default for handling the CIRC file.
Step 3. Update Logism to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Logism program with the Logisim Circuit file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Logisim Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CIRC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to CIRC 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CIRC file. Sometimes virus-infected CIRC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of CIRC 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.
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 option of recovering data from damaged CIRC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Logisim Team help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CIRC 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 CIRC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the CIRC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the CIRC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
