Export SW Assy to Pro-E need to export SW Parts as well?
(OP)
Hi Folks,
I just had someone ask me what I think is a really good question. If you're trying to export/save as a SW assembly file to Pro Engineer format, is it also necessary to go through and export/save as every constituent part/sub-assembly as well to send along with the top-level assembly file? I.e. the same as we'd have to do in SolidWorks for someone to view our assembly.
I was talking to a couple of guys and they seemed to think that the part info gets rolled up into the export file. I'm hoping someone can either confirm this or enlighten me a bit as to what happens in this scenario.
Thanks,

ie. They are not "rolled up" into one file for export.
Also, note that mates are not re-created when the Pro/E assy is opened in either Pro/E or SW.
