I have saved a .SLDPRT file as a .STL file. Now that I have both file versions, the .SLDPRT file cannot be modified for some reason. Is there a way I can go back an change the .SLDPRT file somehow so that I can modify it again? Thanks!

Deepak,
For some reason, once I saved it as a .STL file, the original .SLDPRT file is not editable. How do I attach a .SLDPRT file in this menu? None of the buttons seem to allow you to attach a file -- only images. Do you have an email address I can send my file to? Thanks!

Deepak,
I'm sorry but I deleted the file and started all over again. If the problem happens again, I'll let you know.
Thanks again!

By "not being able to modify" do you mean that you are not able to work on the file in SW or do you mean the file is "read only" and cannot be changed because of a rights issue?
By "not being able to modify" I mean that it has become "read only" and cannot be changed. However,
I do not know if it's because of a rights issue. But yes, it's become read only and I do not know why
it has become so just because I saved a version of it as a .STL . Any ideas you can give me as to why
this has occurred would be helpful! Thanks!

My question about "rights issue" is based on where the file came from before creating the stl. If it was originally in a doc management system (like WPDM) it is possible that it was checked out when you opened it. This would cause the file to be flagged "read only" unless you took ownership in thecheckout process.
When I say it has become "read only" I mean of course, the .SLDPRT has become "read only".

Can you attach the Part file here to check? BTW are you getting any errors in modify the file?
