How to open UCR file?
The most common problem when using MicroSim PCBoard Unrouted Nets Report is that a specific UCR is not associated with the program. This causes the file UCR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UCR 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 OrCAD PCB Designer
In this case, you should first verify that the OrCAD PCB Designer application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name OrCAD PCB Designer into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file UCR with OrCAD PCB Designer. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open UCR files.
Programs to open UCR file
Remember to download programs supporting UCR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of OrCAD PCB Designer with UCR files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the UCR file to open in the OrCAD PCB Designer 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the UCR file with the OrCAD PCB Designer program.
Step 3. Update OrCAD PCB Designer to the latest version
If, despite the association of the OrCAD PCB Designer program with the MicroSim PCBoard Unrouted Nets Report file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Cadence Design Systems, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UCR 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. Usually this applies to UCR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file UCR or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UCR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of UCR 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular UCR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Cadence Design Systems, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file UCR 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.
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. Copying the UCR file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the UCR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UCR file again. However, some background programs may block the UCR file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
