What is DC1 file?

The file in the DC1 format belongs to the CAD Files category. It was designed by DevCad. In addition to this file, the CAD Files category includes 158 related files.

How to open DC1 file?

The main problem with DevCad Document is that the DC1 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that DC1 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DC1 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 DevCad

In this case, you should first verify that the DevCad application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DevCad in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support DC1 files.

Step 2. Create association of DevCad with DC1 files

If, despite the installed application, the DC1 file does not start in the DevCad 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. 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 DevCad application as the default for handling the DC1 file.

Step 3. Update DevCad to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the DevCad program, it is possible that DevCad Document requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DC1 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The DC1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DC1 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DC1 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DC1 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 DC1 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DC1 file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DC1 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. Copying the DC1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DC1 to close. However, some background programs may block the DC1 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
