Guys,

Need some help getting some data to a client. I've got a massive part file (68 Mb) that is a converted assembly. I need to get it ported into a format he can open with either Revit or ACAD 2010. Tried a .sat, he says that it appears to import but once complete is blank. Says that parasolid isn't an importable option. Any other ideas?

RE: Export Options

I've been on the opposite end, receiving .sat files from a Revit user. What I found worked is to break it down into smaller chunks and reassemble in SolidWorks. It was a 300,000 sq. ft. building, so it was a sizable file. I wonder if the reverse would work for you...

RE: Export Options

Vanilla AutoCAD does not have an IGES translator (don't know anything about Revit).

Autodesk products up to version 2010 will only read ACIS (*.sat) up to ACISv7 (SolidWorks exports by default to something like ACIS v18) set Options on save to v7 of ACIS.

RE: Export Options

Another option might be free Inventor Fusion which will read more filetypes (including STEP) than Vanilla AutoCAD and will save to dwg filetype.

Turns out rollupswx's solution was exactly what I was looking for. The system doesn't know what to do with a v19 kernel. Sent a v4 and all was good.
