Help- Only Part template selectable.
Help- Only Part template selectable.
(OP)
I got my 2003 Solidworks, and when I try and input an assembly template... there is nothing there just the part one. Also, when I try to open assemblies it doesnt recognize them. Anyone please tell me why Im only able to select a part template.

They should be located in Program Files > Solidworks > data > templates
Good luck.

1) Location suggested by Theophilus above
2) Program Files > Solidworks > lang > english > Tutorial
If you have these 2 paths in your Tools > Options > System options > File locations / Document templates
Then you need to search both areas to make sure you have your Templates.
I use a single location - I prefer the location that Theophilus suggested

The other thing is under Tools > Options > System options > Default Templates do you have your Part, Assembly, & Drawing Templates pointed out under that menu?

One other thing, I don't think this is the case but I have to ask. When you click File > New you are using Advanced and Novice correct?
Advanced - gives you the option of picking any of the tempaltes or custom templates you have made.
Novice - Makes you use the 3 Default templates that came with SW.

I have seen this behavior before, if you use the novice interface and double click on the assembly button it should launch a new assembly. When the new assembly comes up, change wahtever setting you wish to and save it as an assembly template, and save it in the appropriate directory. I still do not know what causes this but I have seen two or three installs that this happens on.

Install SolidWorks 2004 SP 4 and you should be able to open any template.
