When I try it all I get is a blank screen and a message about the file be "not translatable".  There are multiple SLDASM and SLDPRT file that were delivered in a big ZIP file.

    Anthony - the best way to get SolidWorks data into Onshape is via Parasolid - its a close to idiot-proof as you can get (not calling you an idiot :))

    The number one mistake that people make with Pack-and-Go SolidWorks files is not naming the zip file the EXACT same name as the top level assembly.
    Most of the time just renaming the zip file fixes this.

    I hope this helps.
