looking for ExChangeWorks
(OP)
Hi all,
I read in this forum that I could use ExChangeWorks to convert solidworks files to a previous version. Is that right?
If so, we can I find it?
Thanks a lot,
Fabio

RE: looking for ExChangeWorks
If you go to SW website you can type in the search "Xchangeworks" and you will get several hits. To get a copy you will have to order it.
Also check out the FAQ section - It will answer a lot of your questions.

RE: looking for ExChangeWorks
It looks like the xchangeworks it a tool that loads Autodesk files. Is that right?
What I am realy looking for is a tool that converts SW2004 files into SW2003. Do you know anything that does that?
Thanks again,
Fabio
RE: looking for ExChangeWorks
If you go to the FAQ section of the SW website on Xchangeworks, like I pointed to you above. Then that answer would have pointed itself out to you with the first 3 questions.
That subject has been discussed here many times. It would worth your time to try and run a search on that.
But to answer your question No. SW will not be making anything for backward compatiability. Baren-Boym had a product I looked at the Conference and to say the least "it was bad" It can't do anything more than just saving out a Parasolid and bringing it back into SW.

Sometimes people don't seem to really read our replies and digest them. They seem to constantly try to clutch for some some mythical straws, hoping beyond hope that a miracle will sudden appear.
People, this is a logical problem, not a marketing choice.
Put it this way, you can't turn a vulcan gun into a musket or an 2004 BMW into an ox cart. ('course some of us don't see much difference between a Beamer and an ox cart in the first place, but there ya go... heh, heh.)
Ooops, I was not being rude about anyone - just my personal opinion on overpriced hyped up consumer products....
