How to open GSTENCIL file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GSTENCIL 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 OmniGraffle
The first step is to check if the computer has the OmniGraffle program installed. To do this, enter the name OmniGraffle into the system search engine.

Programs to open GSTENCIL file
Remember to download programs supporting GSTENCIL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OmniGraffle with GSTENCIL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GSTENCIL file still does not use the OmniGraffle program, it means no association. 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 GSTENCIL file with the OmniGraffle application.
Step 3. Update OmniGraffle to the latest version
If, however, after binding OmniGraffle with OmniGraffle Stencil 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 The Omni Group website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GSTENCIL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The GSTENCIL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GSTENCIL file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our GSTENCIL file. Sometimes virus-infected GSTENCIL 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 GSTENCIL 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GSTENCIL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact The Omni Group
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GSTENCIL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the GSTENCIL file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GSTENCIL to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GSTENCIL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
