What is ZCP file?
The file with the extension ZCP is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by CAD Graphics West Incorporated. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Dimension Magics Printing is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Dimension Magics. This was created by CAD Graphics West Incorporated.
How to open ZCP file?
The most common problem when using Dimension Magics Printing is that a specific ZCP is not associated with the program. This causes the file ZCP 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 ZCP 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 Dimension Magics
In this case, you should first verify that the Dimension Magics application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Dimension Magics in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ZCP with Dimension Magics. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ZCP files.
Programs to open ZCP file
Remember to download programs supporting ZCP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Dimension Magics with ZCP files
If, despite the installed application, the ZCP file does not start in the Dimension Magics application, you must create a file 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ZCP file with the Dimension Magics application.
Step 3. Update Dimension Magics to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Dimension Magics program with the Dimension Magics Printing file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the CAD Graphics West Incorporated website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZCP 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:
The ZCP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the ZCP file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZCP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ZCP 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 ZCP file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ZCP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting CAD Graphics West Incorporated, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ZCP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ZCP 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ZCP to close. 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.
