opening other CAD files
opening other CAD files
(OP)
Is it possible to open another type of file and have something you can manipulate?
Every time I have tried I just get a solid body that cannot be changed.

Otherwise you have to use FeatureWorks or deal with the fact you have a Imported solid body.

SW '04 SP3 will not open Wildfire files, is there something besides Feature Works that I need to use
RE: opening other CAD files
the first pop-up says
"The specified module could not be found"
The second pop-up says
"could not load SolidWorks DLL:sldsatu.dll"
I'm running SP4.1
RE: opening other CAD files
SW period doesn't open Wildfire files. It will only open the new Pro-E encrypted files.
PaulKY,
Try running a repair on your SW install - FAQ559-908
You can also try to manually load *.dll files by going to the File\Open menu and changing your file types to "Add-ins *.dll" and go find that *.dll file to load. If you get the problem. Then try to repair your install. If that doesn't do it try cleaning out your TEMP folder. After that then my last suggestion would be to uninstall and reinstall - See FAQ's on all those types of fix options.

I beleive if you read the documentation sent with SW2005 in states that SW 2005 will open Wildfire 1 and 2 files.

I have been using it since Beta 1 myself, but I still get most of my calls on SW04. So my mindset is still with SW04.
Thanks for mentioning it though!

SW05 has over 200 pages in a what's manual. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY suggest all those that are planning on moving to SW05 go through this before working in it. This What's New manual will answer a lot of questions that you may have about SW05.
Also test it out throughly before you move your production work over. Because once converted over, your there to stay, no matter what bugs you may or may not find.
