The file in the WCL format belongs to the Document Files category. It was designed by ALT- Advanced Logic Technology. In addition to this file, the Document Files category includes 574 related files.

This is a program created by ALT- Advanced Logic Technology.
How to open WCL file?
An often recurring problem with WellCAD Log is that WCL is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that WCL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WCL 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 WellCAD
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that WellCAD is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name WellCAD 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 WCL with WellCAD. Below you will find a list of applications that support WCL files.
Programs to open WCL file
Remember to download programs supporting WCL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WellCAD with WCL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WCL file to open in the WellCAD 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. 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the WellCAD application as the default for handling the WCL file.
Step 3. Update WellCAD to the latest version
If, however, after binding WellCAD with WellCAD Log there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the ALT- Advanced Logic Technology page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the WCL 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 WCL file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WCL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WCL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the WCL files changes over time. 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 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 WCL file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting ALT- Advanced Logic Technology, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WCL 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WCL file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the WCL file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
