How to open MNC file?

An often recurring problem with AutoCAD Compiled Menu Format is that MNC is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open MNC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MNC 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 AutoCAD

In this case, you should first verify that the AutoCAD application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name AutoCAD into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file MNC with AutoCAD. Below you will find a list of applications that support MNC files.

Programs to open MNC file

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

Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD with MNC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MNC file still does not use the AutoCAD program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MNC file with the AutoCAD application.

Step 3. Update AutoCAD to the latest version

If, however, after binding AutoCAD with AutoCAD Compiled Menu Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Autodesk, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MNC 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the MNC file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MNC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MNC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MNC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 MNC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Autodesk, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MNC 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move MNC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MNC file again. 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.
