How to import ProE drw.1 files into SolidWorks
How to import ProE drw.1 files into SolidWorks
(OP)
I have a customer that semds me ProE files. I have no problem opening their assemblies and part files, but I cannot open their drw.1 drawing files. In most cases I cannot get PDF or DXF files from them. Is there a viewer or other method that will open the drw.1 files directly? I just need to print them.
thanks,
Tom

The SolidWorks version opens regular SW drawings, so I assume the Pro/E version would open the regular Pro/E drawings.

Tom, try removing the .1 extension.

I'm not looking for a free viewer, but I was hoping I didn't need to pay for a full seat just to print drw.1 files

Looks like you are dealing with a customer is does not want to do data translation. Can't say that I blame them.
What I would do is find out what version of ProE they are using. Then go out and find an independent contractor and have them open the files for you and do your data translation for you. I am sure there are any number of folks in your area that could do this for you. This will be more cost effective then buying a seat of ProE just to open up the drawing files.
I do not suspect you will find another solution short of buying a seat of ProE.
