I am trying to import a PRO/E assembly from a partner company. The parts seem to import sufficiently, but after each part I get an error "The Path for log file is not writable". This assembly has thousands of parts so a popup for each part is unmanagable. None of the files is marked as "read only" and they file location is local to my machine. I am the administrator on my computer.
To debug I saved a part that I modelled in SW as PRO/E. I then imported the file using all possible import methods (BREP, Knitting, Do not Knit, Analyze Model Completely), I got the same error.
I believe the error log file is created in the same directory as the import file, correct? Does anyone have any ideas why I am getting this error?
I don't understand Windows' issue with not being able to clear the partial read only status of a folder, and i dont understand why that condition has never given me an issue with any program (including Solidworks) except for importing a PROE file. But a work around is to run Solidworks as administrator. (Open Solidworks by right clicking the icon and select "Run as administrator"). Don't know why this is necessary (especially since I am the administrator on my machine). Hope this helps anyone that might also have this problem.
