what is your best method for exporting from solidworks to pro-e
I have been doing IGES files and have been having to fix a lot of surfaces when I do
is there a better way?

RE: solidworks to pro-e

Mechbull,

Here is a link to an interesting article I copied off the net regarding your problem.

I've had great success using STeP and IGES.  I would take  a look at your geometry to see if that's a problem.

Best Regards,

RE: solidworks to pro-e

Depending on your version of pro/E, you could try a Parasolids export. WF2 can import them.

"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.
