SolidWorks to Inventor?
SolidWorks to Inventor?
(OP)
Forgive me for posting a question which I'm sure has been answered in the past. For some reason, I'm unable to search this forum right now,
I have a customer using Inventor requesting a solid model of our product. I've taken my assembly, saved it as a part and sent it to him in .sat, .step, and .igs formats, but to no avail.
I'm working in SW 2005, sp2. I have no idea what Inventor he's working with. Additionally, there are some language barriers between us and I'm not quite sure that he even knows how to import into Inventor.
Any suggestions?

Does IV recognise multi-body parts?
RE: SolidWorks to Inventor?
I use the STEP file format, but they must be the 203 version and not the 214 version. They cannot open the 214. The IGES format usually does not translate as well but can be used for simple parts. As I am not on the receiving end, I do not know exactly how they import them or how it handles assemblies.
