It is recommended to use SolidWorks to handle this file. This is a program created by SolidWorks Corporation.
How to open SLDEDB file?
The most common problem when using SolidWorks Database Format is that a specific SLDEDB is not associated with the program. This causes the file SLDEDB 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 SLDEDB 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SolidWorks in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SLDEDB files.
Programs to open SLDEDB file
Remember to download programs supporting SLDEDB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with SLDEDB files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SLDEDB file to open in the SolidWorks application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SolidWorks application as the default for handling the SLDEDB file.
Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SolidWorks program with the SolidWorks Database Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the SolidWorks Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SLDEDB 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:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the SLDEDB file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SLDEDB file. Sometimes virus-infected SLDEDB files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SLDEDB files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
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 SLDEDB file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SLDEDB 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SLDEDB to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SLDEDB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SLDEDB file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
