Opening an Inventor Part in SW
Opening an Inventor Part in SW
(OP)
Question for someone with experience working between SW and Inventor. A customer sent me an Inventor part file and when I try to open it in SW2005, the following shows up in the error file:
SolidWorks Corporation - INVENTOR Processor Error Log
______________________________________________________
INVENTOR Post Processor
___________________
INVENTOR File Name: C:\....\Flange.ipt
ACIS error message:
operation unsuccessful
Error: No solid data in file.
INVENTOR-in did not complete successfully.
Context: Record ending on line number 1
OR one of its fields.
Anyone have this problem? Could there be a problem with the file itself?
Thanks,
Matt

Perhaps you can have the file re-exported with different export settings or into a different format and try to import it again.

However, if it isn't, SW should be able to open an "ipt" file.
Is the Inventor file of a version which SW is able to open? If it's the very latest Inventor version, SW may not be programmed for that.
Have you experimented with the SW "Open" options for "ipt" files?
