How to open SLDBLK file?
An often recurring problem with SolidWorks Blocks is that SLDBLK is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SLDBLK, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SLDBLK 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. To do this, enter the name SolidWorks into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file SLDBLK.
Programs to open SLDBLK file
Remember to download programs supporting SLDBLK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with SLDBLK files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SLDBLK file to open in the SolidWorks application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 SLDBLK file with the SolidWorks program.
Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version
If, however, after binding SolidWorks with SolidWorks Blocks there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 SLDBLK 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 is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SLDBLK file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SLDBLK or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SLDBLK files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SLDBLK file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SLDBLK file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SolidWorks Corporation
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SLDBLK files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SLDBLK 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SLDBLK to close. However, some background programs may block the SLDBLK file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
