Pro-Engineer to Solidworks

Pro-Engineer to Solidworks

Pro-Engineer to Solidworks

(OP)
Hello Fellow PTC Users,

I am really starting to get hit up about Solidworks.... I have customers who are now demanding direct translations of our Pro-e tool design to be converted into Solidworks, with model trees. Does anyne know if 3.0 will do this now or is it once again a ptc rumor?

Thank you in advance!

RE: Pro-Engineer to Solidworks

I import models from Pro/E 2001 to SWx 2005/2006 without any problems using IGES and STEP.  I prefer STEP being a little cleaner.

Here is an article I posted in the SWx forum regarding the same topic.  The two kernals are different and have different accuracies.
