Colson CAD folder - available for all

Has anyone been able to open the Solidworks file for the 5 x 1.5" or the 5 x 2" wheels on robotmarketplace?

Every time I download it at work it always downloads but it has a ".file" file extension. I can't get it to open with Solidworks or Inventor. (Which I knew would happen as soon as I saw the file extension.

I tried downloading and opening these files too and had no luck either...Anyone else?

I got it to work, it seems that they stripped the "." out of the file name when they uploaded it to their site, after you download it, edit the file name so that reads "BPDWC14.SLDPRT" instead of "BPDWC14SLDPRT"

I was skeptical about this CAD library, but you just need to pick the series of wheel you are working with, the type of bearing and the rest does not matter. Their library will give you a full caster, but you can just open the wheel by itself to get any wheel you want from this site. Worked great for me.
