I have V25 and I can't open SLDPRT files, it gives a failed in: open message. Is there a setting I am missing? I am sure it is opperator error!

Make sure you don't have the part open in SW at the same time.

The file was sent to me from the customer, I don't have solid works on my computer.

Possible your customer has an older version of Solidworks, not sure but I think that BobCAD will only open sldprt files from SW 2010 or later.

The update worked on getting the sldprt files to open, thanks for the help guys. I have another problem and I can't find the answer in the help section of the software. When I open bobcad now after updating it I get an error message that says (default machine defined does not exist please choose a default machine from current settings.) also, when I tried to post and save my part it says (error reading xml file, file failed to open.) I didn't have these errors before I updated, something got changed and I can't figure it out.
