  • SW2006 SP05: Failed to open file

    From smnorthcott@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Thu Dec 3 08:59:09 2015
    Just wanted to pop in and exclaim my dismay for this terrible program. What should take me an hour takes an entire day because of the constant crashes and errors. I've only been using Solidworks for roughly 5 weeks (after a hiatus for my old job) and I'
    ve seen a new type of error at least 3 times a week. If my new company wasn't so heavily invested in this program I'd do everything in my power to get them to drop it and purchase Solid Edge. To be blunt, Solidworks can lick my taint.

    Jasper,

    Someone may have already mentioned this but maybe the file was left open (or locked to another user) by the other computer. There's a way to check it but I don't remember how at this time.

    Hi

    I have a big problem when trying to open some of my files I get this
    error message:

    Failed to open file S:\path\to\file.....SLDASM It is already open for
    read in a different session of Solidworks, or another application.

    I have tried restoring my backup but the file still wont open. The funny thing is that the file opens just fine from the backup location, just
    wont open from the original location.

    The problem started when I opened to drawing that use the same assembly
    on two different computers. The files are stored on a mapped network drive.

    Can anyone help me?
