The GLC file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the GLC files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the GLC file on each system platform.
What is GLC file?
The file with the extension GLC is the GIS Files file type. The author of this format is Geometry Pty Ltd.. In addition to this file, the GIS Files category includes 255 related files. IGIS Data is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on iOS systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use iGIS to handle this file. This is a program created by Geometry Pty Ltd..
How to open GLC file?
An often recurring problem with IGIS Data is that GLC is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open GLC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GLC 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 iGIS
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that iGIS is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name iGIS into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support GLC files.
Programs to open GLC file
Remember to download programs supporting GLC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of iGIS with GLC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GLC file still does not use the iGIS program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the iGIS application as the default for handling the GLC file.
Step 3. Update iGIS to the latest version
If, however, after binding iGIS with IGIS Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Geometry Pty Ltd. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GLC file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GLC file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GLC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GLC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GLC 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GLC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Geometry Pty Ltd.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GLC 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. If possible, you can try to move the GLC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the GLC 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. 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.
