How to open SLDSFFVT file?

The most common problem when using SolidWorks Surface Finish Style is that a specific SLDSFFVT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SLDSFFVT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SLDSFFVT 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

The first step is to check if the computer has the SolidWorks program installed. To do this, enter the name SolidWorks into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support SLDSFFVT files.

Programs to open SLDSFFVT file

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

Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with SLDSFFVT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SLDSFFVT 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SolidWorks application as the default for handling the SLDSFFVT file.

Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version

If, despite the association of the SolidWorks program with the SolidWorks Surface Finish Style file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest 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 SLDSFFVT file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The SLDSFFVT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SLDSFFVT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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 SLDSFFVT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SLDSFFVT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SLDSFFVT file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SLDSFFVT 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SLDSFFVT 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.
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 SLDSFFVT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the SLDSFFVT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SLDSFFVT to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SLDSFFVT file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
