How to open UCM file?
The main problem with Crazy Machines Model Format is that the UCM file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that UCM 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 UCM 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 Machines
In this case, you should first verify that the Machines application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Machines in it. 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 UCM files.
Programs to open UCM file
Remember to download programs supporting UCM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Machines with UCM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UCM file still does not use the Machines program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 Machines application as the default for handling the UCM file.
Step 3. Update Machines to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Machines program with the Crazy Machines Model Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UCM 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the UCM file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UCM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected UCM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of UCM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UCM file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted UCM 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the UCM file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the UCM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
