Upload Solidworks or IGS files.

I'm having issues uploading Solidworks or iges files. The file will upload but I don’t see any geometry. All the tab shows is the Name, File name and File type. This seems to be the same for any file type, I have tried .sldprt .sldasm .igs and .x_t file types and all have the same issue. Am I missing something when trying to import or is there an issue with the system?

Ok I figured it out... right click the tab and translate I was having issues with the sldasm file (possibly because of the lack of .sldprt files). However why did the translate not happen automatically when I uploaded the file?

From online research seems to be Solidworks file type?
In searching on the forum & / help, there does not seem to be any relevant information.
Would appreciate help from anyone who knows.
Thanks in advance.
