How to open TC2 file?
The main problem with TurboCAD 2D Mac Drawing is that the TC2 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that TC2 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TC2 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 TurboCAD
In this case, you should first verify that the TurboCAD application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TurboCAD in it. 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 TC2 files.
Programs to open TC2 file
Remember to download programs supporting TC2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TurboCAD with TC2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TC2 file to open in the TurboCAD application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 TC2 file with the TurboCAD application.
Step 3. Update TurboCAD to the latest version
If, despite the association of the TurboCAD program with the TurboCAD 2D Mac Drawing file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the IMSI/Design, LLC. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TC2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the TC2 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 TC2 file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected TC2 files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TC2 files changes over time. 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. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TC2 files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting IMSI, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TC2 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the TC2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TC2 file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TC2 file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
