Problem:

Starting with myCADtools 2020 SP1, the actions for certain tools have been grouped into a "myCADtools" submenu that appears when you right-click a SOLIDWORKS file in Windows Explorer.

For example, when selecting one or more files, you can:

- Rename using ProjectExplorer.

- Open with WereUsed, myCADviewer, or Dependencies.

The myCADtools context menu may not appear.

  

Solution:

Re-register sldshellutils14u as an administrator and reassociate the SOLIDWORKS document file extension with SOLIDWORKS Launcher.exe.

Don't panic! Here's the solution.

You must re-register the "sldshellutils14u.dll" DLL by running the command as an administrator on the computer:

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

Then associate the file extension with SOLIDWORKS Launcher.exe.
