SW File Type

Hello

This morning a colleague has an amazing file problem, he opened plan (. SLDDRW), closed it, and now it's registered as a piece (. SLDPRT) and it cannot be opened. Have you ever experienced that? Is there a solution?

Thank you in advance.

Ooh la! Cute!

He didn't make a mistake in his handling? Hopefully, you have a backup system!

Hello

No, never had a problem and even less heard but you can copy the part and change the extension to try to open it or see in the automatic save folder if there is a backup.

Well, on my colleague's pc the extension can be modified by renaming the file with "name". SLDDRW. 

On the other hand on my PC the extension does not appear behind the file name, would you know how to make it appear?

 

I fixed the problem as shown above, the plan opens correctly, but I too would like to have this extension behind the file name in case it happens to me.

Hello

You have to uncheck the box "hide extensions whose type is known" in the options of the folder view tab.

Kind regards
