I installed SolidWorks 2007 and have now discovered that nodefault drawing or assembly templates were installed. It did load,however, with a default part template.

I have copied drawing templates off of the web, but SolidWorkswon't open them either. It says it "can not recognize the file"(however, the template image shows in the preview window so it hasto recognize it to some degree).

I have also tried to open a 2006 version drawing file. It alsowon't open.

It appears that SolidWorks isn't allowing this function as if somesort of security function. I have a purchased copy and I registeredit on the web. I have no problems creating part files.

Thanks for any help, Mike.SolidworksDrawings And Detailing
