Hello Everyone,
I am having trouble transferring some SolidWorks files into our vault. When I drag and drop a file into the vault I get the error:
"SolidWorks Enterprise PDM cannot read or write the contents of the file 'C:\...." This can happen if the file is corrupt or if it is a newer version than SolidWorks Enterprise PDM can handle. Do you want to proceed anyways?"
I am running Enterprise 2013 SP1, and SolidWorks 2012 SP4.0.
I have tried to save as a different file name, check to see if the file is read only, etc. As far as I can tell the file is not corrupt.
Had anyone had a similar problem and how did they fit it?
Thanks

Answer:
SolidWorks Enterprise PDM cannot read or write the contents of the file 'filename'.
This can happen if the file is corrupt or if it is of a newer version than SolidWorks Enterprise PDM can handle.
Do you want to proceed anyway?
=============================================
- Enterprise currently includes plug-ins for the following CAD file formats: SolidWorks, AutoCAD® DWG, Inventor®, Solid Edge®, Pro/ENGINEER®. Other formats can still be fully managed in the vault, but will have no automatic meta-data and reference support.
- For a list of currently supported CAD format versions (Enterprise 2007-2009), refer to knowledge base solution S-029120
- Most file format plug-ins are not forwards compatible, meaning that if using Enterprise 2009 the above error might result if adding SolidWorks 2010 files. Most are however backwards compatible.
- Solid Edge and Pro/ENGINEER file formats support requires a x32 operating system and the full application installed on the client. See details in above solution.
- Inventor file format support requires the full Inventor application or Inventor viewer installed on the client.
- SolidWorks and DWG files can be managed without having the full application installed.
- For other file formats not listed here, solution partners may offer additional file format plug-ins. Refer to a sales representative for more information. Also see the VAR Resource Center, Products, Data Management, SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, Partner Program.
