did you change the file type drop down box to Solidworks Files (*.SLPRT)?

[Lathe-Mill]

yup, try that and it says, file can not be found

[Lathe-Mill]

also tried the parasolid xtxb, nothing...

What version Solidworks ya runnin ?

 

I had a similar problem awhile back. I had to switch the file type drop down to "all files" , then double click on the file.

 

Look closely at the file extension. Is it sldprt or sld ?

A similar problem has been reported a couple times. When you go into the File/Open dialog and go to the file your SolidWorks file is in and change the 'Files of type' dropdown to "SolidWorks Files (*.SLDPRT)", do you see file in the list above it? If it's there, and you single-click on it, does the "File name:" field show the full filename? Does it by any chance have the filename but with ".SLD" at the end instead of ".SLDPRT"? (that's been the complaint we've heard a couple times)

ok, here it goes...

- when i do file/open then change drop down menu to .sldprt files only, it does not see any solidworks file.

- parasolid files (x_t x_ nothing shows .

- all files shows the file with .sld extension, and if i try to open it it says, file can not be found and there is no option button.

 

i hope you understand how i explained it. thanx.

nunu, i got the latest version, sp1 with the update

[Lumpnut]

Yup , same exact problem I had. All I remember doing is the "repair install" for Solidworks , re-start , and all has been good since.

[Lathe-Mill]

i dont have solidworks in my pc, i just get the files from the server from engineering dept.

i know they upgrade to solidworks 2006, but there might be some 2005 files, i guess

[Lathe-Mill]

Pete Rimkus, so you guys have found type of repair for this?

[Pete Rimkus from CNC Software Inc.]

No, because we haven't been able to reproduce it here. I think you're the 3rd person to report it since X was released in July.

Since you're getting the files from another department, are you trying to open them across the network or are you copying the SLDPRT files to the local computer and letting File/Open look there?

The workaround in File/Open is to select the file, and when the "File name:" field says ".SLD", click in their and add "PRT" to the end and then hit Enter.

[Lathe-Mill]

i get them from the engineer himself via e-mail or i copy and paste it to my local hard drive

[Lathe-Mill]

I just did what you said, add prt to the extension and it worked, but the option button is not there, so how i choose trim and other options?
