If I remember correctly, I tried that and the assembly curves would not file with the part - No go. I don't think I tried that in 2006 yet though, I'll give a try again.
I'd like to resurrect an old thread thread559-90953 to see if anyone has figured this out yet.
I have been unable to get assembly sketch entities to export into any type of neutral file. If you look at the IGES options there is a button for curves but they do not export.
Another method is to add a plane where you want the section to be located and select "Create A Sketch Curve Along An Intersection Of A Plane". This icon can be found by right-mouse clicking in the grey toolbar area then select Customize, Commands, Sketch.
In the drawing, you can hide the...
Not all drawings. The main common factor is the files were originally imported from either Catia or UG, then re-saved as a dwg. I'm not an Autocad expert but I am well aware of the problems in importing data from Catia (especially) & UG into other CAD platforms. I'm not sure if this is the...
We are running AutoCad 14 Which is the platform for our Inspection sofware.
Lately we have been getting the following error when trying to open a previously saved .dwg file.
INTERNAL ERROR:!savers.cpp@375:eGeneral Modeling Failure
ACIS error 3300
Does anyone have any idea what this is or...
We have a couple customers using IDEAS that export IGES files to us. I've tried to keep an open mind considering that the integrity of the native model plays a major role in export quality. With that said, I have to say that these files are some of the worst that I have ever dealt with...
I vote for the World Conference format also. I agree 100% that the downturn in attendance is economy related. That's why we will not be sending anyone next year. Hopefully things will turn around and I'll get to attend the 2005 World conference (assuming SWX admits to their mistake and...
ProEpro, you make an interesting comment. We have a fair ammount of Catia customers and none of them are using V5.
We have numerous Pro/E customers and after testing it, none of them are even considering moving to Wildfire.
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.
Anybody who's worked on the old CADDS5 product can appreciate what backwards compatability can get you.
A great product that rapidly became outdated with no future.
As for the other issues, SolidWorks is not without faults. We all deal with our own issues every day. The fact is, all of the...
Other than Autocad, what other CAD product allows backward compatability? This is NOT a SW issue but more of a product of the evolution of technology.
On the other hand, backward compatability was a hot topic at the last SW World conference. I was led to believe that it will be available in...
You will need to open a new drawing (.slddrw).
Drag the model you just imported (.sldprt) into the new drawing window then do a "save as" from the drawing.
We are running both versions with no issues. Like mentioned, be sure to load 2003 into it's own folder.
It sounds like your customer needs to start shopping for a new VAR.
