FEA applications, viewers, other CAD apps that can open solidworks files etc, even Solidworks Explorerand Edrawings (grasping at straws)- no change, that install of Creo doesn't have Solidworks files in the file type dropdown of the file open dialog. I've used a clean laptop (Win7 64 bit) and installed Creo 2 M090, and everything I could think of that I have on both my PCs that might have put some hook in the system that is allowing me to directly open Solidworks parts and assemblies. As CAD Admin, I have a lot of different software on my PCs so I suspect something I've added at some point is making this work. I have not installed Solidworks Explorer on either PC, and per the PTC support site, it wouldn't work anyway because I'm running 64 bit Creo and as you mentioned, Solidworks Explorer is only available for download as 32 bit - and that combo won't work (per PTC).

I'm in a particularly odd scenario, though, where I have the option for opening solidworks parts and assemblies on both my primary and test PC (both Win 7 64 bit, running Creo Parametric 2 M090 - the Solidworks file types show up in the Creo Parametricfile open dialog). What did you end up doing for this? We are receiving native solidworks files from some suppliers and want to directly open them.
