How to open GNC file?
The main problem with Great Notions Embroidery is that the GNC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file GNC 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 GNC 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 OESD ARTsizer
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that OESD ARTsizer is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name OESD ARTsizer in it. 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 GNC files.
Programs to open GNC file
Remember to download programs supporting GNC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OESD ARTsizer with GNC files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GNC file still does not use the OESD ARTsizer program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 OESD ARTsizer application as the default for handling the GNC file.
Step 3. Update OESD ARTsizer to the latest version
If, however, after binding OESD ARTsizer with Great Notions Embroidery 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 OESD, LLC website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GNC 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 GNC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to GNC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GNC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected GNC 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 GNC files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular GNC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file GNC 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the GNC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GNC file again. 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.
