Problem:

Since the myCADtools 2020 SP1certain tool actions have been grouped together in a sub-menu "myCADtools right-click on a SOLIDWORKS file in Windows Explorer.

For example, on a selection of one or more files you can :

- Rename with ProjectExplorer.

- Open with WereUsed, myCADviewer or Dependencies.

The myCADtools context menu may not appear.

  

Solution:

Re-register sldshellutils14u as Admin and re-assign the SOLIDWORKS document extension to SOLIDWORKS Launcher.exe.

No need to panic! Here's the solution.

You need to re-immigrate the "sldshellutils14u.dll" DLL by running the command as administrator of the workstation:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\SOLIDWORKS Shared\sldshellutils14u.dll

Then associate the file extension with SOLIDWORKS Launcher.exe.
