PAR file extension is used by Parchive volume files. PAR file contains marked sequence of bytes generated based on the data archive, which allows data recovery in case of loss or data corruption.
SLDPRT file contains 3D drawing of an element that is a part of larger project of a device or construction. Such project is stored in a proprietary binary format native to SolidWorks software.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the PAR file after converting to SLDPRT may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from PAR to SLDPRT to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting PAR to SLDPRT does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in PAR format, properly converted to a SLDPRT file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file PAR the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of PAR file to other than SLDPRT. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your PAR file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to SLDPRT on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the PAR file in its original format (without conversion to SLDPRT file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
