Hi all,
how do you increase the accuracy in solidworks?
Thanks,

SW does not use the same "tolerance" concept that some other programs use.

RE: accuracy in solidwork
I'm having problems exporting solidwork model into Pro/E ( surfaces didn't connected, surfaces weren't tangent to each other, edges of surfaces looked faceted not smooth, ....)
In Pro/E, users can increase the part's accuracy so that they get higher quality exported files (in iges, step,...etc), meaning the gaps between merging surfaces are smaller.

RE: accuracy in solidwork
1. export w_t format from SW
2. reimport it back to SW
3. export it again in STEP from SW
4. import STEP file into Pro/E

RE: accuracy in solidwork
You might try IGES, it tends to work better with Pro/E. Alsot try ACIS (*.sat). There are some export options that allow you to specify "high trim curve accuracy", as well.
On the Pro/E end, try changing from relative to absolute accuracy. Also, Pro/E does have some repair tools available.

RE: accuracy in solidwork
Are you exporting orthogonal parts, or spline based curves. Is it possible that Pro/E interprets splines differently from SolidWorks?
