Issue: You Can't Open GLF Files

You might've double-clicked on the file, to be greeted with the "Choose a program to open the file" message. In some cases, you might be able to open the file, but the contents may seem garbled and that's because it was written to be opened in a specific program. Of course, you can't open a GLF file with just any software. Not to worry - we have you covered!

Step 1: Find Out Which Software Uses GLF Files

Computer Files

Opening your GLF file starts with understanding which software uses a GLF extension. In many cases, different types of software may use the same file extensions, also known as file associations.

AfterGRASP Font, Pointwise Tcl Script, and Gridgen Tcl Script are the most popular software packages that use GLF files. Therefore, your best bet would be to download one of these software packages and use one of them to open your file.

Zipped files tend to require special handling and may require password access. Contact the file owner or the person who gave you the file for the password and unzip the file before attempting to open the contents.

Step 2: Learning More About GLF "File Type"

If you can't download AfterGRASP Font, Pointwise Tcl Script, or Gridgen Tcl Script software, or if they don't work to open your GLF file, you may be able to use the file type as a clue to finding out how you can open it. Using a Windows PC, you can right-click and navigate to "Properties" and then to "Type of file". On a Mac, select "More info" and "Kind".

Most likely, you will find that GLF files are considered Uncommon Files. Because many programs packages utilize Uncommon Files, you might be able to find a program on your computer that handles those types of files.

If that still does not work, you may have to contact the associated software developer to find out how to open it. Unless you know the specific developer, you could contact one of these developers for assistance.
