Opening SolidWorks file in UG
(OP)
I have been sent a file from a vendor that is a solidworks file (.sldprt). I can import it into UG, but only some of the data is there. She suggested that I download the free Eviewer, which I did, but it only allows me to view it. The eviewer shows everything, but the data that I import into UG does not. The vendor has not been too helpful. Is there any reason why only some of the data is imported?

SolidWorks can export in parasolid, so I would ask for that - but it really doesn't sound like the person that you are dealing with knows what they are doing.
I really don't know why only some of the data transferred.
Usually vendors are very coopertive about things like this, as they want your business - so maybe ask to speak to someone in engineering.

I suspect the missing data may be proprietary to Solidworks software.
Much the way Catia's "FD&T"(functional dimensioning and tolerancing) is only usable in Catia or Catia related software.
This is only a guess...

jerry- part of the solid geometry is there, but the rest of it is not. They did send a pdf of the assembly print, but 3d geometry would be more useful to me. All layers are on as well.
Jaydenn- Not sure how to answer..the vendor says the file was created in Solidworks and they emailed me the file. I am looking for solid geometry.

They only sent me one file, but there would be multiple solid bodies if it translated correctly. Kinda odd that it did not have the .sldasm extension, but like I said, the assembly opened up in the free viewer. I looked into free solidworks and cannot find one unless I am a student at a college. I do know someone who uses Solidworks, but I will have to see if their company will allow it. Thanks!

I'm always amazed when I see customers being difficult when it comes to models. :-\

Seems as if she is not an actual user of the software.

I have had good results with them. I have used their free service.

Not sure what version it was created in.
Jerry1423,
I will check that out! Thanks all!

Unfortunately, the zamzar site would not recognize the sldprt files.
RE: Opening SolidWorks file in UG
Are you expecting the sldprt file to have multiple solid bodies and not getting them all?

.SLDASM are empty assembly files linking to each .SLDPRT file and making your assembly. Many also model all parts in a single .SLDPRT file. There is an option to not 'Merge Results' (like the Boolean > None option in NX) and you will have many solid bodies inside of one file acting as an assembly.
I'm using NX7.5 and I can open any SolidWorks part files directly.
I can open any SolidWorks files if you need help.

I'm using NX7.5 and I can open any 2011 and older SolidWorks part files directly.

Bigguy, I was wondering the same thing about the sldasm extension. I tried changing it, but no dice.

If you can upload the file you have, I can look into it...
