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.
