LOC file: How to open? The best software for opening loc files

A loc file extension is associated with the Localization string resource file format.

The loc file extension is related to Localization string resource files.

String resource files are text files which contain strings in different languages. By using string resource files it is possible to create applications which can be translated to new languages without changing the source or recompiling the application.

Each string is identified by a unique number and a language number. Strings are referred to by their identification number and an application has a current language, by combining those two numbers a string for a specific language is selected.

Use any source code editor to view content of *.loc files.

The loc file extension is also used for some GPS location data file from EasyGPS software, used to upload and download waypoints, routes, and tracks from computer to GPS navigation.

You can work with these files using EasyGPS.

Probably can be exported to other formats.

MicroSim's PCBoard used the .loc file extension for saved component locations reports. These files document where components are placed on a printed circuit board.

MicroSim was later acquired by Cadence. The .loc format is a report format rather than a complete PCB design file.

Open the file with OrCAD PCB Designer on Microsoft Windows if the installed version supports the legacy PCBoard report. A text editor can also be used to inspect the report if it is stored as readable text.

Opening the file in a text editor displays the saved component-location report but does not recreate or edit the original PCB design.

A component locations report is not normally converted into another file format because it contains report information rather than the complete PCB design. Use the original board design in OrCAD PCB Designer to generate a new report or export the placement information in a format supported by that version.

The loc extension file is known as location file which is usually named as "suppose.loc". It contains two kinds of records. Record type A is required, record type B is optional. There is one type A record for each location. Each location refers to a list of stands and/or inventory plots. Each stand is further defined via entries in a different file, the stand list file (.slf extension). The name of the stand list file is one of the entries on the type A records in the suppose.loc file.

The second type of record in the suppose.loc file, called type B, is used to specify group codes and addfiles applicable to all the stands at all the locations. Addfiles identified on type B records are automatically included in the simulation file for each stand that is identified as being a member of the group. Group membership is defined on type C records of the stand list file.

The locations file is coded free form. It can be edited using the Edit Locations File window accessible via the options menu on the main Suppose selections window. It can also be edited outside of Suppose with a text editor.
