SW 2005 Design Binder

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Rob Rodriguez, Sep 14, 2004.

  1. Has anyone been able to successfully open the design binder in 2005? When
    ever I double click the binder I can't get Word to open. It's been this way
    since beta 1. I submitted this as a bug and actually went through a lengthy
    process with SW trying to figure out the problem. It still is not working
    for me. I can add files (jpg, excel, etc.) to the binder and the show up
    and I can open those, it just seems to be Word giving me a problem.

    I double-click the design_journal.doc file and it works for me. Opens up my
    Word 2003 with the file loaded. Running WinXP and 2005 sp0.

  5. Rob,

    I believe you will find the problem relates to anti-virus "script blocking"
    settings. I ran into the same problem with Norton AV 2003. If you disable
    "script blocking" (NOT RECOMMENDED!!!), the Word document will open.

    I have not had this problem on a newer laptop that is running Norton AV
    2004.

    SolidWorks has been made aware of the problem.

    Hope this helps.

    John

    Norton AV is a misnomer, Norton IS a virus!!!

  7. I use Macafee because you almost have to have something these days. The best
    part is when it reports SolidWorks as a "suspicious script" and gives me the
    option to terminate it immediately.

    LOL
    Yea, I had that with Norton, thats why I use AVG, it's free, but I paid for
    the "Pro" version; it lets you make more adjustments.

  9. Thanks guys. I'll try turning disabling my Norton virus protection and see
    if that works,

    it annoys me somewhat that this problem exists because SW were made aware of
    this by yours truly early on during Beta
