Open solidworks 2018 files in 20173/8/2024 ![]() ![]() ![]() We have a very large CAD repository (old PDM vault is 12TB and WC is currently 2.5TB after 2 years), so updating everything to the newest file version is impossible.

It was suggested that we should upgrade SW2018 (reading between the lines the message was "otherwise don't bother to ask more.") to a more recent version, but it's still the same with SW2021.

When a new workspace was created and used this error did not appear. It turned out that an old workspace from before rehost was used, however the model was added there when testing after rehost. ![]() Some time ago SW2021 complained about a family table instance, file version SW2018, to be corrupted and was not able to open it. I am/was under the impression it's how Tom describes, compatibilities are relevant to the client software only. ![]()
