Problem Import STEP or others

3D Design Volume Model
1

Hello

I'm having a problem importing Parts (STEP, Parasolid or others...) since I imported files in IFC format:

Every time I open an import file, instead of being in *.sldasm or *.sldpart format, it opens in *.asmdot format! Same problem when, in an assembly, I use the "form a sub-assembly" function with several parts... The whole thing is in *.asmdot format.

If anyone knows how to reset the normal setting, I'm all for it!

Thank you, have a good day!

Sylvain.

Hi, try a save as and choose your extension, it should be fine, send a screenshot if possible. Kind regards

Hello

Have you tried to change your default assembly and part document templates in Tools, Options, Default Template.

For example, the original solidworks model is in:

C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SOLIDWORKS 2015\templates\Assembly.asmdot

Keep me informed

Thank you gentlemen! You put me on the right track.

In fact, the template file *.asmdot contained the link of a lost part (from my import *. IFC of yesterday). By deleting this part and re-saving my empty template, everything is back to normal.

Thank you. Have a nice day.
