IntelliCAD Keyboard Shortcut Data Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file.

How to open ICK file?
The most common problem when using IntelliCAD Keyboard Shortcut Data Format is that a specific ICK is not associated with the program. This causes the file ICK 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 ICK 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 IntelliCAD
In this case, you should first verify that the IntelliCAD application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name IntelliCAD in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ICK with IntelliCAD. Below is a list of programs that support the file ICK.
Programs to open ICK file
Remember to download programs supporting ICK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IntelliCAD with ICK files
If, despite the installed application, the ICK file does not start in the IntelliCAD application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the IntelliCAD application as the default for handling the ICK file.
Step 3. Update IntelliCAD to the latest version
If, despite the association of the IntelliCAD program with the IntelliCAD Keyboard Shortcut Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the IntelliCAD Technology Consortium website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ICK 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. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ICK 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ICK file. Sometimes virus-infected ICK files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of ICK file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ICK file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ICK 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ICK file to another location will fix the problem.
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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ICK file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ICK file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
