Just recently installed solidworks PCB and solidworks 2020, I can create a board and push it to a vault but unfortunately when I open up solidworks I can't pull the board in. any ideas I can only assume its missing the solidworks pcb addin.
any ideas.
If you know the name of the SOLIDWORKS PCB addin dll, you can try doing a file open in SOLIDWORKS and change the file type in the open file dialog to addin (*.dll).
This works sometimes when there was issue with add-in.
Just tried to use the add-in and am getting the following error message.
What is the name of the dll you tried to add? Notice when you hover over an addin it will identify the dll SOLIDWORKS loads when it is added in. If someone is still running 2019 PCB, could you tell us the name of the dll of SOLIDWORKS PCB addin?
The filename is the automapper.dll, it's the only one available in that directory for add-ins
That is only one I have too and does not work for me either. Hoping that someone still running 2019 and can run the addin will help us out.
Hi Wayne
I removed the solidworks 2020 version SP4 from my machine and managed to download the 2019 version with SP5.0 from solidworks customer portal, downloads and upgrades, and this version has the Solidworks PCB addin under tools in solidworks.
Thanks Nick, that folder does not exist in 2020 install. I'll see if they moved the install folder.
It shows up in my 2020 SP4 install.
That dll is not on my C: drive. I have 2020 SP3 Educational version installed on this computer.
Hi Scott,
If you hover the cursor over your PCB add-in (as per your screenshot), which location/file does it point to please and thanks.
Cheers
Dave
Thanks Scott,
Unfortunately the only file in my PCB directory in the automapper.dll.
Must be something to do with the install.
Cheers
Dave
I can confirm that Solidworks PCB addin is missing from Solidworks 2020 under the tools menu solidworks addins, as I checked with my colleague who has 2019 version of Solidworks and I have 2020 version of solidworks not sure of the reason but any clarity would be good to know as at the moment it makes things awkward really annoying.
