  1. If you want to associate a file with a new program (e.g. My-file.PCB) you have two ways to do it. The first and the easiest one is to right-click on the selected PCB file. From the drop-down menu select 'Choose default program', then click 'Browse' and find the desired program. The whole operation must be confirmed by clicking OK.
  2. On, right-click on any PCB file and then click 'Open with' 'Choose another app'. Now select another program and check the box 'Always use this app to open.PCB files'. Update your software that should actually open or Protel Printed Circuit Board Files.

Alternatively, you can also use the Android app for which you will need to install the PC client. I will be testing the Chrome addon because I love stuff that works in browser. Enable USB debugging on your Android phone in developer options. Download ADB drivers for Windows. Install the drivers and launch it to connect to your Android phone.

What type of file is it?

When you can’t open PCB files, try to figure out the file type. This can help you find the right program to open it. Usually, PCB files are considered Data Files. However, you can look up the file type to be sure. Start by right-clicking the file icon and clicking “Properties” (“More Info” if you’re on a Mac). Then look for the file type under “Type of File” (“Kind” on a Mac).

Can I use a universal file viewer?

A universal file viewer is the way to go when you have PCB files that can’t be opened by any other program. Install a universal file viewer like File Magic (Download) and see if it will open your PCB file. Remember that if your file is not compatible, the universal file viewer will only open it in binary format.
