What is SCDOC file?

The file in the SCDOC format belongs to the 3D Image Files category. The creator of this file is SpaceClaim Corporation. 3D Image Files consists of 622 similar files. SpaceClaim 3D 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 SpaceClaim. This was created by SpaceClaim Corporation.

How to open SCDOC file?

The most common problem when using SpaceClaim 3D CAD is that a specific SCDOC is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SCDOC files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.

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

In this case, you should first verify that the SpaceClaim application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SpaceClaim in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SCDOC files.

Programs to open SCDOC file

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

Step 2. Create association of SpaceClaim with SCDOC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SCDOC file still does not use the SpaceClaim program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SCDOC file with the SpaceClaim application.

Step 3. Update SpaceClaim to the latest version

If, despite the association of the SpaceClaim program with the SpaceClaim 3D CAD file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SpaceClaim Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SCDOC file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The SCDOC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SCDOC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SCDOC file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SCDOC 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 SCDOC 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SCDOC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SpaceClaim Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SCDOC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. If possible, you can try to move the SCDOC 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SCDOC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
