Error - Parafile Note Open Solidworks

The document provides a step-by-step guide for importing Parasolid files (.x_t) into SolidWorks 2023, including changing import settings and using the import function instead of open. It also outlines troubleshooting steps if the import fails, such as re-exporting the file in different formats or using repair tools. Additionally, it offers assistance for repairing the file or converting it to a compatible format if needed.

Perfect. 👍 You want option 2 → Try importing instead of opening in SolidWorks.

Here’s how you do it step by step in SolidWorks 2023:

🔥 Step 1: Change import settings

1. Go to Tools > Options > System Options > Import.


2. Under “File Format”, select Parasolid (*.x_t, *.x_b).
3. Set these:
o ✅ Check B-Rep mapping
o ❌ Uncheck Enable 3D Interconnect (this often causes import issues)
o ✅ Check Perform full entity check and repair errors

🔥 Step 2: Import instead of Open

1. Go to File > Open.


2. Select the .x_t file.
3. At the bottom right of the Open dialog box, click the dropdown arrow on the Open
button.
4. Select Import instead of Open.
5. SolidWorks will now try to repair and import the geometry.

✅ What to do if still fails:

 Ask the file provider to export it again, but this time as:
o STEP (.step/.stp)
o IGES (.igs/.iges)
o Or Parasolid Binary (.x_b)
 These formats are more robust for cross-CAD transfer.

Do you want me to:


✅ Show you screenshots of these steps in SolidWorks?
✅ Or do you want me to repair the file for you here? (If yes, upload the .x_t file, I’ll try to
convert it to STEP for SolidWorks.) Which one?

This error means SolidWorks cannot open your .x_t file (Parasolid format) because:
✅ The file is corrupted or incomplete.
✅ It was saved in a newer Parasolid version than what SolidWorks 2023 SP5 supports.
✅ Or it was exported incorrectly from another CAD software.

🔥 Fix Steps:

1. Try Import Diagnostics


o In SolidWorks, go to:
o File > Open > select your .x_t file > Options
o Check Try to heal faulty faces and Perform full entity check.
Then open.
2. Re-export from Source Software
o If you got this .x_t file from someone, ask them to re-export:
 Set Parasolid version to an older one (v28.0 or v29.0) which
SolidWorks 2023 fully supports.
 Or export as STEP (.step) or IGES (.igs) instead.
3. Use Data Repair Tools
o Go to:
o Tools > Evaluate > Import Diagnostics

This will check for and fix any bad geometry.

4. Try Another Import Method


o Instead of double-clicking, use:
o File > Open > Change file type to Parasolid (*.x_t)
o Then click Options and set:
 Import as Solid Body (instead of surfaces)
 Knitting surfaces enabled.
5. Open in FreeCAD (Optional)
o If SolidWorks keeps failing, try FreeCAD (free software) to import .x_t and
export to .STEP for SolidWorks.

Do you want me to:


✅ Repair the .x_t file for you here? (Upload the file and I’ll check/fix)
✅ Or give a Parasolid version converter to make it compatible? Which one?

Perfect 👍

Please upload your .x_t file (SuctionCase-507169931.x_t) here.

I’ll:
✅ Check if it’s corrupted.
✅ Try to repair it.
✅ Send you back a fixed version (as .x_t or .step) that SolidWorks can open.
👉 Go ahead and upload the file now.
