SolidWorks 2019 files are not being opened in KeyShot 7 or 8.1 versions

I recently installed SolidWorks 2019 and modelled a part which I tried importing to KeyShot 7 and later tried with KeyShot 8.1. I am getting the following error. I tried importing files of SolidWorks 2017 versions which opened fine. I really need help with this one as I recently completed an assembly and wanted to create animations in KeyShot.

As a temporary fix, you could always export the assembly in .step, and import it in Keyshot.

Save your SW model as a Step file (214), then import to Keyshot.

This has been an issue for years with different programs, Inventor had it for a long time you just had to save as a step file.
