What is NC1 file?

The NC1 file has been categorized as 3D Image Files. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files. Xsteel CAD appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is AutoCAD. This was created by Autodesk, Inc..

How to open NC1 file?

An often recurring problem with Xsteel CAD is that NC1 is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file NC1 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NC1 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the AutoCAD program installed. To do this, enter the name AutoCAD into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NC1 files.

Programs to open NC1 file

Remember to download programs supporting NC1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD with NC1 files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NC1 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the AutoCAD application as the default for handling the NC1 file.

Step 3. Update AutoCAD to the latest version

If, however, after binding AutoCAD with Xsteel CAD 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 NC1 file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The NC1 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NC1 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NC1 file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected NC1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of NC1 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NC1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NC1 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move NC1 to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NC1 file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NC1 to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NC1 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
