VEC file extension
The VEC file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the VEC files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the VEC file on each system platform.
What is VEC file?
The VEC file has been categorized as Vector Image Files. It was designed by LaVision. In addition to this file, the Vector Image Files category includes 138 related files. DaVis Graphic Format is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The DaVis application is recommended to open the file. It was released by LaVision.
How to open VEC file?
An often recurring problem with DaVis Graphic Format is that VEC is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file VEC 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 VEC 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 DaVis
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that DaVis is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing DaVis into the operating system search engine. 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 VEC files.
Programs to open VEC file
Remember to download programs supporting VEC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of DaVis with VEC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VEC file to open in the DaVis application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VEC file with the DaVis program.
Step 3. Update DaVis to the latest version
If, however, after binding DaVis with DaVis Graphic Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the LaVision website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VEC file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the VEC file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 VEC file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected VEC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VEC file. 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged VEC files. You can restore the file from a backup or use LaVision help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VEC 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. 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 VEC file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the VEC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the VEC file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
