The main program that supports this format is TurboCAD. This was created by IMSI/Design, LLC..
How to open TC3 file?
The most common problem when using TurboCAD 2D/3D Mac Drawing is that a specific TC3 is not associated with the program. This causes the file TC3 to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TC3 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. This can be achieved by typing TurboCAD into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file TC3.
Programs to open TC3 file
Remember to download programs supporting TC3 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TurboCAD with TC3 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TC3 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. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TC3 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/3D 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 TC3 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the TC3 file contents when downloading or copying. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TC3 file. However, remember that not every infected TC3 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the TC3 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TC3 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IMSI
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted TC3 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 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 TC3 file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TC3 to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
