Last Open Time displays the time it took for the
SOLIDWORKS software to open the file, the last time it was opened. This file
property is helpful for managing your time when you have large data sets that are
time consuming to open.
The time displays in minutes and seconds, and is available for models which are
opened directly from disk saved in SOLIDWORKS 2018. For assemblies opened in
Lightweight mode, the tooltip displays Last LW Open Time.
Last Open Time does not update in reference files when they
are saved while open in memory, but does update when the reference files are saved
while open in their own window.
You can also add a column in the Details view of Windows
Explorer to display SW Open Time, and you can identify files
saved in earlier versions of the SOLIDWORKS software by adding a column for
SW Last Save with.
If you are running Windows 10, Windows Explorer has been renamed to File
Explorer. These instructions also apply to File Explorer.
