I just installed SolidWorks 2010 last week and have found the option for creating drawings is not available. I have looked through all of the forums on here as well as google, and have verified that my SolidWorks is pointing to the correct locations for it's templates:
When I try to create a drawing from a saved part/assembly I receive the following error:
Cannot open C:|Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 2010\templates\Drawing.drwdot.
The system could not recognize the file.
I click OK, then receive:
The default templats are not valid. The problems can be resolved by correcting the default templates under the ooptions dialog.
Do you want to continue with a blank template?
If I click OK, nothing happens.
It appears that the .drwdot file is unable to be read. In addition, I have tried to load other drawings from samples online, as well as files I have from previous versions. It appears that my SolidWorks will NOT open any drawing. I receive the same "Cannot Open" error with all other .slddrw files.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
