What is SLDXML file?
The file with the extension SLDXML is the 3D Image Files file type. In addition to this file, the 3D Image Files category includes 622 related files.

It is recommended to use SolidWorks to handle this file. This is a program created by SolidWorks Corporation.
How to open SLDXML file?
An often recurring problem with SolidWorks Assembly Data Format is that SLDXML is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SLDXML, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SLDXML 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. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support SLDXML files.
Programs to open SLDXML file
Remember to download programs supporting SLDXML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SolidWorks with SLDXML files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SLDXML 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. 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. 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 SLDXML file with the SolidWorks program.
Step 3. Update SolidWorks to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SolidWorks program with the SolidWorks Assembly Data Format 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 SLDXML file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SLDXML 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SLDXML or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SLDXML file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SLDXML files changes over time. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SLDXML 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.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SLDXML 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move SLDXML to a different directory.
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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SLDXML to close. However, some background programs may block the SLDXML file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
