Dear All
I want to know some facts about SolidWorks before trying it. Please answer the questions listed below:
1. Is it possible to animate assemblies in this?
2. Can we rotate a part in window without touching mouse or keyboard? (Like flying object in animation)
3. Can we export Pro/E parts and assemblies directly?
4. Can we make export/make directly .avi files from SolidWorks animated file?
Thanks.
Narendra

RE: avi
This is getting better with some of the new enhancements such as Cam following. But if you want to do real animations get SW Animator.
>2. Can we rotate a part in window without touching mouse or keyboard? (Like flying object in animation)
If I understand you correctly...No this isn't possible if your not using SW animator.
>3. Can we export Pro/E parts and assemblies directly?
You have to export files out as "Acis, DXF/DWG, Iges, Parasolids, STL, TIFF, VRML, Parasolid Binary, Step". In the help of SW there is a graph showing what SW can import/export and in SP4 it shows that you can import files in from Pro/e, but can't export to Pro/e. I know a lot of people do it though. Probably through one of the options I listed above.
>4. Can we make export/make directly .avi files from SolidWorks animated file?
You need SW Animator add-on package.
Hope that helps,
