The GE3 file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the GE3 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the GE3 file on each system platform.
What is GE3 file?
The file in the GE3 format belongs to the 3D Image Files category. The author of this format is CNC Software, Inc.. 3D Image Files consists of 622 similar files. Mastercam Geometry is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The Mastercam application is recommended to open the file. It was released by CNC Software, Inc..
How to open GE3 file?
The main problem with Mastercam Geometry is that the GE3 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that GE3 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GE3 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Mastercam is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Mastercam into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GE3 with Mastercam. Below you will find a list of applications that support GE3 files.
Programs to open GE3 file
Remember to download programs supporting GE3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mastercam with GE3 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GE3 file to open in the Mastercam application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GE3 file with the Mastercam application.
Step 3. Update Mastercam to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Mastercam program with the Mastercam Geometry file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the CNC Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GE3 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. Usually this applies to GE3 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GE3 file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GE3 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GE3 files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 GE3 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use CNC Software, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GE3 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the GE3 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GE3 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GE3 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
