Drag a zipped (.zip) file into an empty SOLIDWORKS window, or an empty area of an open SOLIDWORKS document.
The SOLIDWORKS software opens the zipped files based on where you drop the zipped file. For example, if you drag a .zip file that contains several models into an empty SOLIDWORKS window, each model opens in its own window.
The .zip file can contain any file type supported by the SOLIDWORKS software. If the .zip file contains several SOLIDWORKS files and an imported file, such as an .igs file, the .igs file opens in a separate window.
If the .zip file contains models that are not on your local computer (if you dragged the .zip file from the Internet), the Select Folder dialog box appears for you to download the .zip file to a location on your local computer.
