This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to open any spbk files, is there a certain way to do it? I tried open patch but it won't open the file it just hangs. Open bank doesn't work either.

The bank file could be corrupted (you should only open sbk type with "Open Bank File", I think). Or, it could be version incompatibility. Which version of SpinCAD are you using?

Shouldn't the file open pretty quickly?

What version of Java are you running for your instance of SpinCAD?

I'm using Java v8 update 181. And I'm still kind of on 998 for SpinCAD. I haven't really had time to try the newest version out much. Maybe Digital Larry can chime in. I really need to install an @ alert plugin as a thread tool here.

Can you open the spbk file in a text editor? It will contain a lot of giberish/null characters, but the file should openable and have at least some recognizable text.

Yes, I can open the file in notepad, and I can see that it should be able to be opened.

It seems to finally open in SpinCad if I leave it long enough, but the symbols never show up in the SpinCAD window. It just stays as a blank page.
