Pro/E's compatibility with AutoCAD 2000.
Pro/E's compatibility with AutoCAD 2000.
(OP)
Hello All,
What is Pro/E's Wildfire 3.0 compatibility with AutoCAD 2000? Specifically, you can import, but can you successfully edit and save back to dwg format like you can with SolidWorks' DWGEditor?
Thanks in advance for your reponse.
Kind regards
Mecoman

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

Thanks for the repsonse.
To respond to your question. We have several thousand assemblies drawn in acad. An order for one assembly may hapeen again in 1 to 10 years, and a few minor drawing revisions may be needed (5-30minutes of work). It would be nice for a change done on a dwg file to be done in either acad or pro/ to then be able to be accessed in either acad or pro/E. Backwards forwards compatibility.
I anticipate a long transition time of moving from 2d to 3d. It would be nice to do it faster, but it is not possible.
Thanks again for your response.
Kind regards,
Mecoman

Having DWG editor allows us MEs to open ACAD drawings since we do not have ACAD on our computers. But other than that I stay away from ACAD files. You may want to consider doing data translation but several thousand assemblies is a lot of data.

Sort of a side note, something I didn't realize until recently; one of the prime drivers of both IGES and STEP were / are long term, platform independent data storage and retrieval in a world of planned obsolescence.
