How to open CPY file?
An often recurring problem with 3ds Max Copy Track Format is that CPY is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open CPY, 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 CPY 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 3ds Max
In this case, you should first verify that the 3ds Max application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing 3ds Max into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file CPY.
Programs to open CPY file
Remember to download programs supporting CPY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3ds Max with CPY files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the CPY file still does not use the 3ds Max program, it means no 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the 3ds Max application as the default for handling the CPY file.
Step 3. Update 3ds Max to the latest version
If, however, after binding 3ds Max with 3ds Max Copy Track Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CPY 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 CPY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the CPY file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. 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 CPY file. Sometimes virus-infected CPY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CPY 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 CPY file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted CPY 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CPY file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CPY file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the CPY file again. However, some background programs may block the CPY file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
