Are you facing problems with opening solidworks files inComposer? Here are some tips:
Option 1: Check knowledge base on this customer portal. The kbaseis expanding on a regular basis.
Option 2: If you have SW2009 and SW2008 installed on same machineand your files are saved in SW2008 format (because you don't dareto get on to SW2009 yet :-)), go to "Settings-->ApplicationPreferences" in Composer and look for SolidWorks versions list inthe INPUT tab. Default is "Auto-Detect". Set it to SW2008. (I facedthis problem yesterday at a customer's place).
Option 3: Open SolidWorks and export SMG by using FREE Add-in (youknow you can get it from customer portal on download page). Use theSMG directly in the Composer. This option helped us yesterdaybecause SolidWorks assembly had some parts with missing filelocation and hence SolidWorks was trying to find the referencedSLDPRT when opening assembly and hence SolidWorks was hanging up inhidden mode, eventually hanging up Composer (with Converter dialogacting as if its still working)
Option 4: Always contact your reseller tech support.
Any more tricks worked for you?
