Tips to open MCX-9 file
Can't open the MCX-9 file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open MCX-9 files as well as a list of programs that support MCX-9 files.
MCX-9 file extension
The MCX-9 file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the MCX-9 files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the MCX-9 file on each system platform.
What is MCX-9 file?
The file in the MCX-9 format belongs to the 3D Image Files category. 3D Image Files consists of 622 similar files. Mastercam X9 3D Model Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The main program that supports this format is Mastercam. This was created by CNC Software, Inc..
How to open MCX-9 file?
An often recurring problem with Mastercam X9 3D Model Format is that MCX-9 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that MCX-9 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 MCX-9 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. To do this, enter the name Mastercam into the system search engine. 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 MCX-9.
Programs to open MCX-9 file
Remember to download programs supporting MCX-9 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Mastercam with MCX-9 files
If, despite the installed application, the MCX-9 file does not start in the Mastercam application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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 Mastercam application as the default for handling the MCX-9 file.
Step 3. Update Mastercam to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Mastercam program with the Mastercam X9 3D Model 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 CNC Software, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MCX-9 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 MCX-9 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the MCX-9 file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MCX-9 or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected MCX-9 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MCX-9 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair MCX-9 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 MCX-9 files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
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-9 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MCX-9 file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
