PCS File Summary

File Extension PCS has four unique file types (with the primary being the Pfaff Embroidery File format) and is mostly associated with PesView (Open Source) and three other software programs. The majority of PCS files are considered CAD Files, but they can also be Vector Image Files or Graphic Files.

Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems can be used to view PCS files. Both desktop and mobile devices enable you to view and (sometimes) edit these files, depending on the software used. PCS files have a "Low" Popularity Rating; this means that they are not present on most devices.

Troubleshoot PCS Files


Common PCS Opening Problems

PesView Removed

If you attempt to load your PCS file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open PCS Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to PesView missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your PCS file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: When another PCS application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


PesView is Out-of-Date

Your Pfaff Embroidery File file is incompatible with PesView because you might have the wrong version installed. If you've got the wrong version of PesView installed, you'll need to install the correct version. Your Pfaff Embroidery File file was probably created by a newer release of PesView than what's currently installed your computer.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your PCS file and clicking "Properties".


Conclusion: The majority of PCS file opening issues are due to not having the correct PesView version installed.


Additional PCS Opening Issues

Errors opening Pfaff Embroidery File files can still occur even with the latest PesView software installed on your computer. Other PCS opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Additional factors include:

  • Windows Registry PCS file paths that are incorrect
  • The PCS file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • PesView or another PCS application experienced a flawed installation
  • Your PCS file is corrupted (issues with your Pfaff Embroidery File file itself)
  • Malware-tainted PCS file can't be opened
  • Drivers associated with PCS software need to be updated
  • Too many applications are open on your PC to load your Pfaff Embroidery File file successfully
