Solidmech 4.1.1. (next version)?
Solidmech 4.1.1. (next version)?
(OP)
Solidmech 4.1.1. doesn't work on SW2008. Is there a newer version that is, or will be out soon? Any hints on this?

Anyway, I would be pretty certain that SolidMech uses a SW API call to determine the version. SW reports its version with a number in a string. If you can get SolidMech to accept that new number, you may be able to continue using it.
I would assume that SolidMech uses some DLL to attach to SW and insert your part. If you can locate that DLL, and (again, using a hex editor) find where the value is stored that SolidMech is looking for SW to report, you may be able to change that number and get it working again.
It may be possible to figure out what DLL is trying to connect to SW by examining the Processes tab of the Task Manager. Watch the processes while you try to use SolidMech. When the error message comes up, the latest addition to the processes list may well be the DLL you have to modify. I think that's how I found the one for my 3D catalog.
I wouldn't mind taking a look if someone knows a place where SolidMech is available for download. I guess it's not free anymore, though.
