How to open SLDTBT file?

The most common problem when using SolidWorks General Table Template is that a specific SLDTBT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SLDTBT files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SLDTBT 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. This can be achieved by typing SolidWorks into the operating system search engine.

Programs to open SLDTBT file

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

Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with SLDTBT files

If, despite the installed application, the SLDTBT file does not start in the SolidWorks application, you must create a file association. 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 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 SLDTBT file with the SolidWorks program.

Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the SolidWorks program, it is possible that SolidWorks General Table Template requires a newer version of the program. 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 SLDTBT file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SLDTBT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SLDTBT or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SLDTBT file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SLDTBT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SLDTBT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact SolidWorks Corporation
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SLDTBT 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. If possible, you can try to move the SLDTBT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SLDTBT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SLDTBT file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
