I just updated my Solidworks from the 2019 version to the 2021 version and updated some of my drawings. After trying to transfer and open files from Solidworks to bobcad cam bobcad cam failed to open any 2021 files.
I am going to download the upgraded version of bobcad cam and that should solve the problem.

BobCAD V33 is the only version that can open SolidWorks 2021 files.
SolidWorks requires some code to be embedded in the software starting a few years ago in order to open their newer files, so the latest version of BobCAD will always be set up to open the latest version of SolidWorks.
Mark,
I ran into this problems so many times years ago that I have just streamlined my process to export a STEP file anytime I’m going from SW to BCC. You’ll still have all your solid features and anything else that the SW native file would in BCC, but never have the compatibility issue again. File size should be smaller too.
Hope this helps.
