I had an email sent to me with some solidworks attachments. Because I don't have CAD or anyway to get it, I can't open these up.
Is there anyway I could forward email to one of our fine members and have them converted to something that I can see and print?
Thanks in advance,
Roger
You may be able to open them in FreeCad or Google Sketchup. Both are free to download for personal use. You could also try BRL Cad, or LibreCad

Tried to download FREECAD, no luck with getting it downloaded. I am very computer stupid and I now have a bunch of BS stuff on my computer from trying to download it.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Pm sent I might be able to help
What is the file type?
Once you get this figured out, follow these steps to clean up your computer.
Control Panel -> Programs and Features
Now click on the "Installed On" column so it shows the latest date first.
Right click and "uninstall" every program you got that you don't want. Don't go past the date of when you tried installing that stuff.

If you didn't get it email me, I have sold works and can probably help.
Same here I can open in SW and save to PDF. PM me if you need a file translated.
