How to open EZC file?

The main problem with AutoCAD Ecscad Components Backup Format is that the EZC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open EZC, 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 EZC 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 AutoCAD Ecscad

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that AutoCAD Ecscad is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name AutoCAD Ecscad in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EZC with AutoCAD Ecscad. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EZC files.

Programs to open EZC file

Remember to download programs supporting EZC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD Ecscad with EZC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the EZC file to open in the AutoCAD Ecscad application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 AutoCAD Ecscad application as the default for handling the EZC file.

Step 3. Update AutoCAD Ecscad to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the AutoCAD Ecscad program, it is possible that AutoCAD Ecscad Components Backup Format requires a newer version of the program.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The EZC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the EZC file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EZC file. Sometimes virus-infected EZC 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 EZC files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair EZC file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted EZC 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.
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. It is best to move EZC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EZC 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 EZC to close. However, some background programs may block the EZC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
