What is GXC file?

The GXC file has been categorized as CAD Files. The creator of this file is General CADD Products. Additionally, the CAD Files category contains 158 of other files. General CADD Pro Component is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is CADD Pro. This was created by General CADD Products, Inc..

How to open GXC file?

The most common problem when using General CADD Pro Component is that a specific GXC is not associated with the program. This causes the file GXC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GXC 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 CADD Pro

The first step is to check if the computer has the CADD Pro program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CADD Pro in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GXC with CADD Pro. Below you will find a list of applications that support GXC files.

Programs to open GXC file

Remember to download programs supporting GXC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of CADD Pro with GXC files

If, despite the installed application, the GXC file does not start in the CADD Pro application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 CADD Pro application as the default for handling the GXC file.

Step 3. Update CADD Pro to the latest version

If, despite the association of the CADD Pro program with the General CADD Pro Component 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 General CADD Products, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GXC 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GXC file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 GXC file. However, remember that not every infected GXC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GXC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GXC files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting General CADD Products, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GXC 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the GXC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the GXC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. 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 nothing helps, please reset the device.
