How to open MCR file?
The most common problem when using 3ds Max Macroscript Format is that a specific MCR is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that MCR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MCR 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 3ds Max
The first step is to check if the computer has the 3ds Max program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name 3ds Max in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file MCR.
Programs to open MCR file
Remember to download programs supporting MCR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of 3ds Max with MCR files
If, despite the installed application, the MCR file does not start in the 3ds Max 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MCR file with the 3ds Max program.
Step 3. Update 3ds Max to the latest version
If, despite the association of the 3ds Max program with the 3ds Max Macroscript Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MCR file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The MCR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MCR file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MCR file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MCR 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 MCR file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MCR files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file MCR 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 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 MCR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MCR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MCR file again. However, some background programs may block the MCR file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
