    NOTE: This is how it should look like, when the plugin has been correctly installed.

  3. Restart Cura

  4. Open a part file and/or assembly file of your choise. You should be able to find both file types being supported in the open file dialog:

  5. (optional) If you can't open any SolidWorks file, then you probably don't have SolidWorks installed. To be sure that the plugin is really installed, there is another double check you can make:
