Troubleshooting Problems Opening ICS Files


Issues Opening ICS Files

IronCAD Disappeared

You attempt to load your ICS file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The ICS File Extension". Usually, this is because you do not have IronCAD for %%os%% installed. The OS won't know what to do with your ICS file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: Another ICS-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Outdated IronCAD

Sometimes your installed version of IronCAD won't support your IronCAD 3D CAD Drawing File file. If you've got the wrong version of IronCAD installed, you'll need to install the correct version. The primary cause of this problem is that your IronCAD 3D CAD Drawing File file was created by a different (newer) version of IronCAD than what's installed.


Tip: You can sometimes get hints about the right program version by right-clicking on the ICS file, selecting "Properties", and looking at the version information.


Primarily, problems experienced when opening ICS files are due to having the incorrect version of IronCAD installed on your computer.


Additional ICS Opening Issues

Errors opening IronCAD 3D CAD Drawing File files can still occur even with the latest IronCAD software installed on your computer. If you're still experiencing problems opening ICS files, there could be other computer problems. Other contributing causes:

  • Windows Registry ICS file paths that are incorrect
  • Deletion of the ICS file description from the Registry by mistake
  • Invalid installation of a ICS-associated program (eg. IronCAD)
  • Something has caused file corruption of your ICS
  • ICS file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Device drivers of the hardware associated with your ICS file are corrupt or out-of-date
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the IronCAD 3D CAD Drawing File format
