How to open XTC file?

The most common problem when using XTrkCAD Project is that a specific XTC is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that XTC 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 XTC 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 XTrkCAD

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that XTrkCAD is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing XTrkCAD into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open XTC files.

Programs to open XTC file

Remember to download programs supporting XTC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of XTrkCAD with XTC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the XTC file to open in the XTrkCAD 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the XTrkCAD application as the default for handling the XTC file.

Step 3. Update XTrkCAD to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the XTrkCAD program, it is possible that XTrkCAD Project requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the MartinFischer website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the XTC file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The XTC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the XTC file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our XTC file. However, remember that not every infected XTC file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of XTC 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.
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 XTC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact MartinFischer
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file XTC 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. If possible, you can try to move the XTC file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the XTC file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the XTC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
