What happens next is interesting, and a somewhat unique situation. Select a component you are fairly confident has no problems, either from the work area or the FeatureManager component list on the left side of your screen, and then click the Open Selected button on the Selective Open window. It should default to “Selected components”.
Once you’ve done that, the Selective Open window will appear. On the Large Design Review Command Manager, look for the command for Selective Open and click it (see Figure 2). Now it’s a matter of trying to figure out which component is the culprit. If you’ve gotten this far, it means there’s a good chance your assembly file is recoverable, and it’s one of the components which are gumming up the works. When your assembly opens, only the visual information needed to display the assembly is loaded into memory.
Feel free to click OK once you’re done reading, and check the option to “Don’t show again” if you prefer.įigure 1: Setting the Mode to Large Design Review.
If you’ve never used Large Design Review before, you will see a window that describes its benefits. When opening the assembly, select the assembly file, set the Mode to Large Design Review (see Figure 1), then click Open. This technique is the preferred method to troubleshoot an assembly that won’t open if you suspect there is a part in your assembly causing the problem. In such situations, there are two techniques that can help you open the assembly and salvage most of your work. The error is more common with assemblies and even more so with assemblies that contain components imported from other CAD programs or downloaded from the internet. For those who have, it can be very frustrating. Have you ever tried to open an assembly and encountered this error? Fortunately, it happens rarely, and many SOLIDWORKS users have never experienced this error. Other benefits of Disk Drill includes the ability to browse recovered files in real-time as they’re reconstructed, rather than having to wait for the entire disk to be scanned, and a secure ‘data shredder’ option for ensuring no data can be recovered from drives you’re looking to get rid of.Stop me if you’ve heard this one: “SolidWorks has encountered an error and needs to close”. Using ‘state-of-the-art scanning methods and updated recovery algorithms,’ Disk Drill 4 can recover more than 400 different file types from drives with FAT32, NTFS, HFS+, and APFS file systems.ĬleverFiles, the team that develops Disk Drill, says it’s ‘invested a lot of resources into researching and implementing unique search and recovery algorithms aiming bring back many raw images.’ Specifically, CleverFiles says it’s dramatically improved the ability to recover Raw image and video formats, including 3FR (Hasselblad), ARW (Sony), CR2 and CR3 (Canon), DNG (multiple mobile devices and cameras), GPR (GoPRO), HEIC (Apple), RLE (QuickTime videos), CVID (Cinepak), H263 and H264, MP4V, BRAW (Blackmagic RAW), CinemaDNG, Canon CRM, multiple MOV-container-based formats and many others.ĬleverFiles specifically notes the success rate of being able to reconstruct Raw photo and video files has increased to 99% and 96%, respectively, compared to the respective 68% and 51% success rates with Disk Drill 3.8.Ī breakdown of the success rate for recovering Raw image and video files from disks and memory cards compared to its previous version and competing products.
The macOS version of disk recovery software Disk Drill has received a major 4.0 update that adds, amongst other features, a dramatically improved ability to recover RAW image formats from drives and memory cards.ĭisk Drill for macOS 4.0 is now ready for the latest versions of Apple’s desktop and mobile operating systems, macOS Big Sur and iOS 14.
