How to open SLDCLR file?

The most common problem when using SolidWorks Colour Palette is that a specific SLDCLR is not associated with the program. This causes the file SLDCLR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SLDCLR 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. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SLDCLR with SolidWorks. Below is a list of programs that support the file SLDCLR.

Programs to open SLDCLR file

Remember to download programs supporting SLDCLR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with SLDCLR files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SLDCLR 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SolidWorks application as the default for handling the SLDCLR file.

Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version

If, despite the association of the SolidWorks program with the SolidWorks Colour Palette file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 SLDCLR file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The SLDCLR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the SLDCLR file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SLDCLR file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SLDCLR files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SLDCLR file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SLDCLR file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use SolidWorks Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SLDCLR 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SLDCLR file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SLDCLR file again. However, some background programs may block the SLDCLR file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
