How to open MC9 file?

An often recurring problem with Mastercam 9 Geometry Format is that MC9 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file MC9 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 MC9 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 Mastercam

The first step is to check if the computer has the Mastercam program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Mastercam in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MC9 with Mastercam. Below is a list of programs that support the file MC9.

Programs to open MC9 file

Remember to download programs supporting MC9 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Mastercam with MC9 files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the MC9 file to open in the Mastercam application, but you can set it manually. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Mastercam application as the default for handling the MC9 file.

Step 3. Update Mastercam to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Mastercam program with the Mastercam 9 Geometry Format 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 CNC Software, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MC9 file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MC9 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 MC9 file. However, remember that not every infected MC9 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MC9 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.
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 MC9 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact CNC
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MC9 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. Copying the MC9 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 you have to wait for the session to the file MC9 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
