How to open MCX-7 file?

The most common problem when using Mastercam X7 3D Model Format is that a specific MCX-7 is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open MCX-7, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MCX-7 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

In this case, you should first verify that the Mastercam application is installed on the computer. 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 MCX-7 with Mastercam. Below is a list of programs that support the file MCX-7.

Programs to open MCX-7 file

Remember to download programs supporting MCX-7 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Mastercam with MCX-7 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MCX-7 file still does not use the Mastercam program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Mastercam application as the default for handling the MCX-7 file.

Step 3. Update Mastercam to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Mastercam program with the Mastercam X7 3D Model Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the CNC Software, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MCX-7 file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MCX-7 files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MCX-7 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected MCX-7 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MCX-7 files changes over time. 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 ability to automatically repair MCX-7 file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file MCX-7 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 MCX-7 file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MCX-7 file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
