SWX `08 : All part data has disappeared.
SWX `08 : All part data has disappeared.
(OP)
Hi there!
We have installed SWX `08 on brand new hardware.
Converted all our old SWX 2005 files using SWX converion wizard.
Opened various assemblies discovering that they now had mate errors (when they were saved in SWX 2005 they were fine) Also some of the parts in said assemblies were missing all their featues, sketches, in fact, EVERYTHING was missing for some parts.

RE: SWX `08 : All part data has disappeared.
Second, do you have backups of your old 2005 files?
If so find one of the files that did not translate properly with the conversion wizard, and then open it in SolidWorks 2008. What happens?
RE: SWX `08 : All part data has disappeared.
If not what are the specs for the new PC?
Did you install SW08 SP0.0 and then update to SP0.1?
Did you disable the anti-virus software before installing and updating?

RE: SWX `08 : All part data has disappeared.
The specs in my signature are my CURRENT/NEW hardware setup.
I do not have any part in the installation of new software within this company.
Our VAR came in last week and diagnosed our setup without solving the problem.
After I changed the permissions/attributes of my files some of them were fixed. Some though are still in the `missing' state.
All of our files have been backed up many times over for years before this.

However, whether it is or isn't I don't think that is your problem.
Do you have any features in the tree or do you show some that has failures in the tree?

No features are shown in the tree, where previously there were many.

Have you tried using the backup and instead of using the conversion wizard just open them up and save them to see if the data stays?
