The SLDLFP file has been categorized as 3D Image Files. The creator of this file is SolidWorks Corporation. Additionally, the 3D Image Files category contains 622 of other files.

This was created by SolidWorks Corporation.
How to open SLDLFP file?
The most common problem when using SolidWorks Library Part is that a specific SLDLFP is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SLDLFP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SLDLFP 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SolidWorks is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SolidWorks into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SLDLFP files.
Programs to open SLDLFP file
Remember to download programs supporting SLDLFP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with SLDLFP files
If, despite the installed application, the SLDLFP file does not start in the SolidWorks application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SLDLFP file with the SolidWorks program.
Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version
If, however, after binding SolidWorks with SolidWorks Library Part there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the SolidWorks Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SLDLFP 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. Usually this applies to SLDLFP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SLDLFP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SLDLFP 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 SLDLFP 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SLDLFP file corruption. 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 SLDLFP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the SLDLFP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SLDLFP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SLDLFP file again. However, some background programs may block the SLDLFP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
