Using SW2003 SP1.0 (also tried SP3.

Using SW2003 SP1.0 (also tried SP3.

(OP)
Using SW2003 SP1.0 (also tried SP3.0 ) and Pro/E 2000i2 with latest patch.

We have recently discovered that some of our conversions from Pro/E via .step are not coming into SW accurately. A good number of them convert badly as well, leaving us with twanged parts.

I was wondering if anyone has stumbled across a combination of settings that our Pro/E users should be using, and our SW user's should be using to get an accurate conversion?

I've also posted in SW forum.

Any information is helpful.  Thanks a bunch!

RE: Using SW2003 SP1.0 (also tried SP3.

I've found that some files convert from Pro/E into SolidWorks better via IGES rather than STEP.  It's kind of hit and miss - If one method gives unacceptable results, try the other.  Also, make sure the Pro/E file is a good model.

Thank you. This was very helpful. I appreciate it.
