The TCW file extension refers to files saved in the .TCW format. This format is used by various applications developed by IMSI/Design. These drawing files are used with applications such as TurboCAD Pro and TurboCAD Designer, and they include a range of two-dimensional and three-dimensional vector-based drawings, as well as layers and objects.
Technical Details
TCW files were native to TurboCAD, but they can now be opened with other CAD programs such as CorelCAD. They are based on the DWG, DXF, and DWF formats, though they are unique in terms of content formatting and organization. CAD files often include features not supported in TCW files, such as architecural templates. In these cases, the files can be exported to other formats such as DWG or DXF.
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .TCW) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .TCW extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .TCW file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .TCW extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .TCW extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .TCW file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .TCW file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .TCW file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .TCW file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .TCW file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
