How to open TCT file?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TCT 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TurboCAD is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name TurboCAD in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file TCT.
Programs to open TCT file
Remember to download programs supporting TCT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of TurboCAD with TCT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TCT 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 TurboCAD application as the default for handling the TCT file.
Step 3. Update TurboCAD to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the TurboCAD program, it is possible that TurboCAD Drawing Template requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the IMSI/Design, LLC. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TCT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to TCT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TCT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected TCT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of TCT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TCT file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting IMSI/Design, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TCT files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move TCT to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the TCT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TCT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TCT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
