Import Diagnostics
(OP)
I am on SolidWorks 2007 here. I have imported an assembly STEP file, and one of the parts is showing errors. According to the error window, I have six Check entity errors.
I cannot find anything that will provide more information on the errors. The Import Diagnostic window under Tools, is grayed out.
Does anybody know what I can do?

RE: Import Diagnostics
Have you created any features after the import operation? If so, the import diagnostics will be unavailable. Even the creation of reference geometry will cause the diagnostics to be grayed out.
IIRC, you can roll back to just after the import feature and then perform diagnostics.

If not, can you post the file here? Maybe one of us can fix it with a newer version and post back as a good parasolid.

All the menus that look they would help me are turned off.
Please note again that I am on SolidWorks 2007.

There was an interference between the small rounded-square extrusions (at the back of the snap-in clips) and the circular enclosures. I moved the inner face of the enclosures out by .01mm and then saved as a parasolid.
Hope it will be good enough for your use.

It works!
Thank you.
