What is FMC file?

The file in the FMC format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by Cobus. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. NCAD appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is COBUS NCAD. This was created by Cobus.

How to open FMC file?

The most common problem when using NCAD is that a specific FMC is not associated with the program. This causes the file FMC 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 FMC 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 COBUS NCAD

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that COBUS NCAD is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing COBUS NCAD 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 FMC.

Programs to open FMC file

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

Step 2. Create association of COBUS NCAD with FMC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FMC file still does not use the COBUS NCAD 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 FMC file with the COBUS NCAD application.

Step 3. Update COBUS NCAD to the latest version

If, however, after binding COBUS NCAD with NCAD there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Cobus page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FMC 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 FMC file. However, remember that not every infected FMC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the FMC files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FMC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Cobus help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FMC 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the FMC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FMC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
