RE: Solid Works to Unigraphics NX
I once did an extensive comparison of Solid Works to UG compatability & discovered that there's a handful of translation issues.
Overall, unless a company starts a brand new project in SW & keeps in that environment, it is likely to save the company lots of money, compared to UG's cost & maintenance. However, if a company has been using UG for quite some time & has many legacy UG CAD files, the compatibility is virtually non-functional. If you are able to open a UG to SW file, you will lose all the UG attributes, thus making it a parasolid or a dumb solid.
Hope that helps.
