What is EASM file?

The file in the EASM format belongs to the CAD Files category. The creator of this file is Dassault Systemes. Additionally, the CAD Files category contains 158 of other files. EDrawings Assembly Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use SolidWorks to handle this file. This is a program created by SolidWorks Corporation. This file type can also be opened by 5 other programs. SketchUp, eDrawings Viewer, Autodesk Inventor will apply when it is not possible to use SolidWorks.

How to open EASM file?

The most common problem when using EDrawings Assembly Format is that a specific EASM is not associated with the program. This causes the file EASM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EASM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install SolidWorks

The first step is to check if the computer has the SolidWorks program installed. To do this, enter the name SolidWorks into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support EASM files.

Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with EASM files

If, despite the installed application, the EASM file does not start in the SolidWorks application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the EASM file with the SolidWorks program.

Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the SolidWorks program, it is possible that EDrawings Assembly Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the SolidWorks Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EASM file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the EASM file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our EASM file. Sometimes virus-infected EASM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the EASM file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EASM files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Dassault Systemes
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file EASM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the EASM file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the EASM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the EASM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the EASM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
