[FAQ]

Problem: Third party files (STEP, IGES, DXF, etc) can no longer be double clicked in Windows to open them automatically in SpaceClaim. Attempting to associate the file (i.e. STEP, IGES, etc) with SpaceClaim.exe manually from the Windows list of programs produces no result. This includes manually browsing to and assigning spaceclaim.exe as the program to use. Solution: This issue is related to an outdated value in the Windows registry. The exact value of the registry key is variable, because each user’s PC will have a different string for the user ID. The key you need to modify is: HKEY_USERSSoftwareClassesApplicationsSpaceClaim.exeshellopencommand The key itself is just named (Default) I have highlighted the area that will vary from one PC to the next. You can use Ctrl + F to search the registry for the value of the key. We searched for: spaceclaim.exe” “%1” There may be multiple entries that turn up that value, but these will be located in folders for other programs, such as ANSYS17, ANSYS18, etc. The value of the registry key should be (for the current release): “C:Program FilesSpaceClaim 2017.1spaceclaim.exe” “%1”
