I'm going through the solidworks introductory tutorial. I selected a part from 3d content central, clicked "Configure and Download", unchecked the "zipped" option, then clicked download. When the box popped up with the link to the part I tried drag and dropping the part into solidworks. I got following error in solidworks:

swShellFileManager:

An error was encountered while trying to open your file. Contact Technical Support for a possible solution.

Had the same problem if I clicked the link and tried opening the file with the Solidworks launcher.

Correct Answer

Check the SOLIDWORKS version of the file being downloaded vs version of SOLIDWORKS installed on your machine.

When go to download the part from 3D Content Central, the zipped box is stuck checked. I tried downloading the part as a solidworks part, a step file, and as a parasolid. Every time the computer tells me that it cannot proceed with extraction of the zipped file.

Any thoughts?

Do you've any anti virus on the machine? If yes then that might be blocking the zip file. If this is not the case then can you extract the files outside of SOLIDWORKS?

Could not remember seeing this behavior.

The zipped checkbox can't be unchecked when downloading assemblies. Try downloading the file to your computer and unzip it before dragging and dropping into SOLIDWORKS.

Extracting outside of solidworks worked!

Thanks!
