How to open GDC file?
An often recurring problem with Iconics GraphWorx32 is that GDC is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that GDC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GDC 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 GraphWorX32
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that GraphWorX32 is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing GraphWorX32 into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GDC with GraphWorX32. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open GDC files.
Programs to open GDC file
Remember to download programs supporting GDC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GraphWorX32 with GDC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GDC file still does not use the GraphWorX32 program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the GraphWorX32 application as the default for handling the GDC file.
Step 3. Update GraphWorX32 to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the GraphWorX32 program, it is possible that Iconics GraphWorx32 requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the ICONICS, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GDC 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GDC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GDC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected GDC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GDC file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GDC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ICONICS, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file GDC 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move GDC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GDC file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GDC file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
