Topic Connection Placeholder | G&A M.C. | Text Files |
The TPC ( .TPC) file extension or Topic Connection Placeholder is a Corel script created in CorelDRAW , an image processing software from Corel. It contains information about graphics objects used in the program, including connection points (profiles, lines, and curves) which determine the way the objects are connected to each other. In addition, the file includes X and Y coordinate values. TPC files are used to save design properties of an object that can be reused for other projects. This may include stroke width, type of line, color, gradient style, and other properties.
What Type of Information Is Included in TPC Files?
TPC files store connections between different objects located in the same project document. The files contain the information about the graphic elements associated with each object, including lines, curves, bezier points, as well as X and Y coordinates. Additionally, TPC files include various design parameters including stroke widths, types of lines, colors, gradients styles, color effects, and angle values among many others.
The information in TPC files can be saved and used in future CorelDRAW projects with little manual input required. This makes them ideal for use in saving design components that can later be used multiple times with ease. Other related file extensions include .PDC, .CDR, and .CRW, which are also used by CorelDRAW.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .TPC) 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 .TPC 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 .TPC 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 .TPC 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 .TPC extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .TPC file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .TPC 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 .TPC file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .TPC file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .TPC file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
