Tip of the Week: Zip files
I’m sure most (if not all) of you have downloaded a 3D model from a website. Most of the time you can just download the file (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) and open it in SolidWorks. But lets say the file you downloaded is a zip file with a spec sheet or a Readme file included. What do you do now? What I’ve done was unzip the files, delete the documents I don’t need and them open the file I do want in SolidWorks.
Well, you don’t have to do all that. All you need to do is download the zip file and drag and drop it into SolidWorks. SolidWorks will open the file formats it can and toss the rest. It will even tell you which files it can’t open. Pretty slick, huh..?
