Solid works default assembly template...

Solid works default assembly template...

Solid works default assembly template...

(OP)
I can´t open an assembly window. Everytime I try an error pops up saying "The default templates are not valid". But in my options I have only got one template to chose from. Where can I get a default template that works?

RE: Solid works default assembly template...

Call your VAR and have them send you their Templates, sounds like they were not installed or corrupted.

RE: Solid works default assembly template...

Scott ... would a repair not "fix" the templates? Could the templates simply be copied from the CD?

dpepke ... Have you made custom templates? If so make sure the Tools > Options > System Options > Default Templates is pointing to them.

If that doesn't work, do a search in the SW install directory for *.asmdot. You will probably find it in C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\lang\english\Tutorial.
Change the location of the default templates to match.

RE: Solid works default assembly template...

It could, but in most situations this does not fix the issue. A reinstall might, but if you have the problem once then the chances are likely this will happen again. I think there is something blocking them from the install. The only way around it was to get the files from someone. This was the result in early versions. I have not seen this problem in at least 1 if not 2 years.
