Download Solidworks 2010 32bit Full 522

System is updated from SOLIDWORKS older than 2012 to a newer version.Or some legacy macro is run.Macro is utilizing Windows API functions (e.g. has browse file/folder dialog, connects to registry, uses windows handles) via Declare Function statement.When started the Compile error: The code in this project must be updated for use on 64-bit systems is displayed.
SOLIDWORKS has updated the Visual Basic for Application environment in 2013 release from VB6 to VB7.VB6 is 32bit application while VB7 is 64bit application.Due to the difference in variables size in 32/64 it is required to use PtrSafe keyword to assert the environment that it is safe to run the macro in x64 systems and LongPtr or LongLong to properly resolve the Long type variable in 32 and 64 bit environments.

I had the same problem as the OP. This article does not fix the problem because Solidwork took down the version 2012 of solid explorer. I installed version 2014 solidwork explorer. Creo 2 can't even see the file, let alone open it. The article did state that Creo only support up to version 2012. If you have a legit link for Solidwork explorer 2012, much appreciated.
I have Creo 2 parametric m120. I download the solidwork explorer 2014 from their website yesterday. The article state that installation of SE is all you need for Creo top open SLDPRT. There is no change in config.pro for Creo 2. Am I missing anything?
Creo View can open SolidWorks files and can export them again as STEP, IGES, JT (I think) as well as PVS and PVZ (which are "Creo View specific" formats). To do this, you need the appropriate MCAD adapter pack for Creo View installed. You also need the SolidWorks DLL libraries installed. This same exact scenario also holds for Siemens NX files.
Therefore, if you have NX or SolidWorks installed on your workstation and you have Creo View with the right MCAD adapters, you can open native SolidWorks and NX files directly in Creo View. You can them dump them back out again as any number of other 3D formats and read them into Creo.
This is very confusing because I didn't do any of this. I do not have SW on my computer; I run 64bit Creo Pro 2.0 M040, and I installed whatever swexplorer was available in July, 2014. And it now works when I open and filter All Files because I now see *.sldprt files and they open as ABT features.
Probablly the easiest way to address this situation is by opening the file in solidworks and saving/exporting them into a step file. If you don't have solid works, you can down load a student version... my kids did that for their cad classes. Or find a friend that has solid works. Step files worked better over iges for solid works files.
Files created in either 64 or 32bit versions of Solidworks are the same. i.e. a model created in either version will be able to be opened in the other version.
As long as both versions of SW is the same or higher, i.e. both are SW2011 or SW2012 etc...
The difference between 64bit and 32bit is in how the program is utilising system resources, 64bit systems can utilise as much RAM as you can throw at your PC whereas 32bit systems are restricted to 4GB max.
In the tests, I will load SW without any add-ins, and load the large model repeatedly while I monitor the memory. If the available memory is below 200,000 KB, I will test if Hole Wizard works or not. The process will be repeated for all four platforms.
WinXP 32bit:
2 instances of the model are opened. The red circled number is the total memory utilized by SW. The green circled number on the bottom right is the free memory, which should be more than 200,000 KB in order to activate Hole Wizard command.
5 instances of the same model are opened. At this time, my computer is very slow because the virtual memory is being utilized to open the files. The total memory is 4,795,828 KB (circled red), and I still have tons of memory available (circled green). I tested the Hole Wizard, and there is no error at all.
4 instances are opened, and then the free memory dropped below 200,000 KB, which caused the Hole Wizard to fail. From here we can see that Windows 7 32bit performs better than Windows XP 32bit in terms of handling large memory loading.
This is the limitation of 32bit OS. By definition, 32-bit processor uses 32bits to refer to the location of each byte of memory 2^32 = 4.2 billion, so which is 4 GB. Each Windows application has 4 GB of virtual memory space. By default, half (2 GB) is dedicated to kernel usage, and the other half is left available for application usage. If large files are loaded in the application and the memory usage is getting close to 2 GB, well..we have a problem.
This will allocate 3 GB of memory to the application usage. If you experience instability after the switch is activated, please disable it as this setting has been known to cause problems particularly if you have a video card installed with 768 MB+ of on-board memory.
All of the above suggestions are short term solutions. If you still run into the error message, you should consider changing the OS to 64bit. WinXP 64bit is old technology. I STRONGLY recommend Win7 64bit which is seeing a very high adoption rate and is now the mainstream choice by IT and engineering professionals.
I have a c# application that runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit OS.In my app, how can I programatically check that solidworks is installed or not on computer.If we can check it by reading registry key ,then provide me path for both 32-bit and 64-bit.Tell me if there are other ways also to check it.
This is for beginers....
I think there are many ways to check Whether Solidworks is installed or not , but according to my perspective when Solidworks is installed it creates some folders in registery.
Just follow this steps to check it...

After approval, SOLIDWORKS send a new serial number for us to pass onto you, this serial key should then be given to the students. Students can download from the community download page, use this key for installation, and then activate the software to gain full functionality.
This process changed in 2021, students no longer need to fill in the Student Access Form and instead Solid Solutions will provide you with a serial key that should be passed onto the students. Students can download from the community download page, use this key for installation, and then activate the software to gain full functionality.
However, if your school or university already has SOLIDWORKS they may be able to provide you with a free home use copy of Student Standard or Student Premium so we recommend you check before making any purchases.
Students are not entitled to use support and are encouraged ask their teachers or check online resources instead. Useful online resources include such as the SOLIDWORKS FAQs, student support and the SOLIDWORKS forums.
It isn't recommended, or officially supported, to install SOLIDWORKS on a Mac but it is possible if you use BootCamp or Parallels. For more information please read this blog, but bear in mind performance will almost always be better on a Windows based machine.
No. Unfortunately, SOLIDWORKS is no longer supported on 32bit computers. The last supported release of SOLIDWORKS on 32bit computers was SOLIDWORKS 2014 which is no longer available for download as an educational version.
SOLIDWORKS's regular set of tools provide great flexibility and enable you to model virtually any part. To complement this SOLIDWORKS also features sets of specialized commands that help speed up the creation of common product types such as sheet metal, weldments and mould tools.

Being able to quickly evaluate and adjust your designs helps you to avoid costly mold rework and improve the final quality of your parts.
SOLIDWORKS Electrical CAD greatly simplifies electrical schematic creation by providing an intuitive interface that gives you faster results. Bi-directional integration in real time with SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD enables you to automatically route wires to calculate accurate lengths and easily check your designs for potential inteferences.
Recently someone noticed there is a 64 bit client in the Epicor install directory, but the default shortcuts created during install use the 32 bit client. Is there a performance benefit to using the 64 bit client(e.g. give Epicor client access to more than 4GB of RAM)?
I think the general rule is use the 32 bit client by default unless there is a strong reason to use the 64bit version. We have some users using the 64 bit version as we have a customisation that uses some Solidworks dlls that are 64bit only. There was also an issue with Epicor Data Discovery and the 64 bit client. Given most (99%) people use the 32bit client all the bugs have been ironed out. not so with the 64 bit version.
