What is a .PRTDOT file?
A .PRTDOT file is a template file used in SolidWorks, which is a computer-aided design (CAD) software developed by Dassault Systemes. This type of file helps engineers and designers by providing a preset structure for creating new part files, which are saved with the .SLDPRT extension in SolidWorks.
The .PRTDOT file includes various predefined settings and elements such as part document properties, sketches, notes, and specific features that are commonly used in design projects. By using a .PRTDOT file, users can start new projects with these settings already in place, which can save time and ensure consistency across multiple parts or projects.
To open a .PRTDOT file, you will need to use SolidWorks software. Here’s how you can open it: 1. Start the SolidWorks program. 2. Go to the 'File' menu and select 'Open'. 3. In the dialog box that appears, navigate to the location of the .PRTDOT file. 4. Select the file and click 'Open'.
This will load the template, and you can begin working on your new part with the predefined settings and elements from the .PRTDOT file.
