installing Datasmith with Solidworks connected

I’m using solidworks connected 2023 Premium. I’ve tried to install the datasmith plugin to my PC, but datasmith does not recognize I have solidworks installed. Any work arounds?

Exact same problem here. Desperate for a solution!

Hello @kknecht4 and @N-1-X-0-N do you have any other solidworks version installed on your machines?

It seems we do not support 2023 version of solidworks, on install, yet.
I will enter a bug in our backlog.

Can you guys try with this temporary exporter and let me know if it works Box
It is for testing purposes, please switch for the appropriate 5.2 version when it is out.


HI, sadly, it doesn’t work.

Do you have a solidworks folder in your registry?

the installer is looking for “SOLIDWORKS 2023” at Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolidWorks\

use regedit to check it
example with solidworks 2022

Solidworks folder present! Sad it still won’t install

Did you try with the install provided through the link I shared 6 days ago?
Else could you try again with this one?
