What is an SWJ file

SWJ files mostly belong to SolidWorks. SWJ files can refer to two specialized file types.

SolidWorks Journal: These files capture a sequence of commands executed in the SolidWorks CAD environment. They serve as a record of operations for automation or troubleshooting and are best opened with SolidWorks.

Scheme-it Drawing: In some cases, an SWJ file is a Scheme Editor project file that holds schematic drawing data. It uses zlib compression to store the information efficiently. For more details on this use case, visit this resource.

FilExt.com tip: Use the appropriate software for the corresponding file type to view or edit the file without corrupting its command sequence.

How to open an SWJ file

Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SWJ file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SWJ file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
