I would like to open a Solidworks 2017 file with my Sw 2015. I get the following error message future version and the file does not open.

Is it possible to add to sw 2015 a kind of add-in?

Hello 

No, it's impossible, but you can use a neutral format such as a STEP or a Parasolid and use the featureworks function to find a tree structure of the file.

Thank you

 

I just wanted to open a SW 2017 file on Grabcad , I asked the person if he could put it in a diff. format like step, I don't have much hope.

 

Thank you anyway
