Converting to AutoCAD 3D

[SLemin]

Has anyone the experience of getting a Solid Edge model (v18) into AutoCad 3D?? If so how/what software/translation did you use??

Many many thanks in advance

Simon

Do you mean Inventor for Autocad 3D?

I don't think so, our customer is using AutoCAD 2005, and would like to import our models, as far as I know AutoCAD will only import *.SAT (but not SE *.SAT Files!), *.3DS or *.DWG (3D) files....

Hi,

Sat is don't know why they are having a pb opening the sat files you generate with SE.

In 'options' when saving as an SAT file, try changing the ACIS version to an older one (smaller number)

Fred is probably on to it. Acad and Inventor don't support SAT versions past V7, so save it to V7 or earlier.
