Open different file types in Spaceclaim

      Good morning, 

      Since installing V23 of Spaceclaim, I can no longer open .stp or other 3D type files from Windows Explorer.  Previously, I could right click on the file, select "open with" and SC would show as an option.  No longer the case.  I can go through the browse for other apps on this computer process, but can never get anywhere with that either.  The only option is to open those files from Spaceclaim, which works, but seems like an unnecessary additional step that didn't use to be necessary. Also running Windows 11 so not sure if that's a contributing factor or not.

      It should work if you find the SpaceClaim executable and SpaceClaim then shows up in the list of options next time. That's on a (fairly) recent build of Win10. Might be different for Win11?

      Ahh, so simple.. I was having a problem with locating the .exe file, but got it now, thanks!
