I am trying to open an STP file (large assembly, 170MB) and it is failing because of template problems. The message in the error file is:
"Error: Possibly template file is missing or corrupted.
STEP-in did not complete successfully".
Any ideas?

Make sure the path for file templates have been defined under Default Templates and Always use these default document templates is selected.
Thank you Deepak. I had already put the default templates at the top of the list but these templates were not in the Solidworks2013 folder - they were in the Solidworks2010 Templated folder. I had to move them into the SW2013 folder and put that at the top of the list and it worked. I don't understand why the same files in a different location works.
There are two locations you need to update.
Thank you Anna, I had missed the default templates options. All is well now and the file (170MB) turned out to be a 1400 part assembly and took over half an hour to open!
Make sure the path for file templates have been defined under Tools > Options > Default Templates and Always use these default document templates is selected.
