What is RTC file?

The RTC file has been categorized as CAD Files. It was designed by Autodesk. Additionally, the CAD Files category contains 158 of other files. AutoCAD Civil Rating Curve Data Format is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows.

How to open RTC file?

The most common problem when using AutoCAD Civil Rating Curve Data Format is that a specific RTC is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open RTC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

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

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that AutoCAD Civil is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name AutoCAD Civil in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file RTC with AutoCAD Civil. Below is a list of programs that support the file RTC.

Programs to open RTC file

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

Step 2. Create association of AutoCAD Civil with RTC files

If, despite the installed application, the RTC file does not start in the AutoCAD Civil 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RTC file with the AutoCAD Civil application.

Step 3. Update AutoCAD Civil to the latest version

If, however, after binding AutoCAD Civil with AutoCAD Civil Rating Curve Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the RTC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our RTC file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RTC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RTC file. 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 RTC file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RTC 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the RTC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with 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. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RTC file again. However, some background programs may block the RTC file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
