The TAPESRCMDL file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the TAPESRCMDL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the TAPESRCMDL file on each system platform.
What is TAPESRCMDL file?
The file with the extension TAPESRCMDL is the 3D Image Files file type. In addition to this file, the 3D Image Files category includes 622 related files. Softimage Tape Source Model Format 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 SOFTIMAGE XSI application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Autodesk, Inc..
How to open TAPESRCMDL file?
The main problem with Softimage Tape Source Model Format is that the TAPESRCMDL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that TAPESRCMDL 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 TAPESRCMDL 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 SOFTIMAGE XSI
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SOFTIMAGE XSI is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SOFTIMAGE XSI into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support TAPESRCMDL files.
Programs to open TAPESRCMDL file
Remember to download programs supporting TAPESRCMDL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SOFTIMAGE XSI with TAPESRCMDL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TAPESRCMDL file still does not use the SOFTIMAGE XSI 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SOFTIMAGE XSI application as the default for handling the TAPESRCMDL file.
Step 3. Update SOFTIMAGE XSI to the latest version
If, however, after binding SOFTIMAGE XSI with Softimage Tape Source Model 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 TAPESRCMDL file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The TAPESRCMDL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TAPESRCMDL file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TAPESRCMDL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TAPESRCMDL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TAPESRCMDL 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TAPESRCMDL files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TAPESRCMDL 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the TAPESRCMDL file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TAPESRCMDL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TAPESRCMDL file again. However, some background programs may block the TAPESRCMDL file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
