eDrawings 2011 - Unhandled Parsing Exception

Larry Wimpee Apr 27, 2011 2:27 PM

"Unhandled parsing exception. Please report fault. "

I get this error when I open a SLDDRW file about 1MB in size. I have tried this on another workstation and get the same error. I can open other files with no issues. The customer who provided the files can open the file with no problems. I have deleted the copy I had and re-downloaded the the file from the customer's FTP site and still get the error.

I have uninstalled MS Visual C## 2005 SP1, 2008 sp1 and installed latest version of both, as well as 2010 with no change.

Hi Larry,
Welcome to the forum.
Are you opening this file directly out of E-drawing without a session of Solidworks open
or are you opening this file up with in a session of Solidworks using E-drawings from within.

You mention all of these programs that you uninstalled and reinstalled including solidworks
2005, 2008 and 2010. In your title you mention 2011, yet no mention of 2011 uninstalled or reinstalled.
I have to ask, is the file you are trying to open from 2011?

  Hello Scott,
  
  Thanks for replying.
  
  What I uninstalled was Visual C## 2005/2008/2010. I did not uninstall or reinstall eDrawings 2011 on the computer in question as a fresh install on my own PC did not enable me to open the files either so it seemed a moot point.
  
  What we are doing is opening up only in eDrawings. I do not have any version of the full SolidWorks program installed on my own PC so it is stricly via eDrawings 2011.
  
  Good question about the version of Solidworks it was created in. I did not think about that since the customer has sent him good files in the recent past as well. I will inquire about the version of Solidworks it was created in.

    Hi Larry,
    Ok, understood. Yes the version will make a difference.
    You could have them export it in pdf as another option.

      Hello ...
      
      I am having this same issue on one of my workstations. Solidworks is not installed, but he is trying to open the file in eDrawings. The file was indeed created in SolidWorks 2011, 64Bit version. I have the newest version of eDrawings installed. It doesn't happen with every file. Most of them open fine.

        I had to have them recreate and resend the document in a compatible version then it started working.
