How to open EMCX file?
The main problem with Mastercam X Educational Document Format is that the EMCX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file EMCX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EMCX 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 Mastercam
In this case, you should first verify that the Mastercam application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Mastercam into the system search engine. 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 EMCX files.
Programs to open EMCX file
Remember to download programs supporting EMCX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mastercam with EMCX files
If, despite the installed application, the EMCX file does not start in the Mastercam 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. 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. 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 EMCX file with the Mastercam program.
Step 3. Update Mastercam to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Mastercam program with the Mastercam X Educational Document Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the CNC Software, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EMCX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The EMCX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to EMCX 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EMCX file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover EMCX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of EMCX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EMCX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EMCX 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. 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 EMCX file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the EMCX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EMCX file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
