The CNC file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the CNC files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the CNC file on each system platform.
What is CNC file?
The file in the CNC format belongs to the CAD Files category. It was designed by Dolphin Cad Cam. CAD Files consists of 158 similar files. PartMaster CNC Format is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs. You can use QuickCAM 2D in case Dolphin Cad Cam PartMaster cannot be used.
How to open CNC file?
The main problem with PartMaster CNC Format is that the CNC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CNC, 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 CNC 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 Dolphin Cad Cam PartMaster
In this case, you should first verify that the Dolphin Cad Cam PartMaster application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Dolphin Cad Cam PartMaster 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 CNC files.
Programs to open CNC file
Remember to download programs supporting CNC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dolphin Cad Cam PartMaster with CNC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CNC file still does not use the Dolphin Cad Cam PartMaster program, it means no 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the CNC file with the Dolphin Cad Cam PartMaster application.
Step 3. Update Dolphin Cad Cam PartMaster to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Dolphin Cad Cam PartMaster program with the PartMaster CNC Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CNC 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 CNC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to CNC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CNC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CNC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CNC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair CNC file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CNC 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the CNC file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CNC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CNC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
