How to open EPRT file?
The most common problem when using SolidWorks EDrawing Part is that a specific EPRT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open EPRT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the EPRT 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
In this case, you should first verify that the SolidWorks application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SolidWorks into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file EPRT with SolidWorks. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open EPRT files.
Programs to open EPRT file
Remember to download programs supporting EPRT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with EPRT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the EPRT file still does not use the SolidWorks program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SolidWorks application as the default for handling the EPRT file.
Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SolidWorks program, it is possible that SolidWorks EDrawing Part requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SolidWorks Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EPRT file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the EPRT file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 EPRT file. However, remember that not every infected EPRT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the EPRT files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EPRT files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SolidWorks Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted EPRT files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the EPRT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EPRT to close. However, some background programs may block the EPRT file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
