Mastercam

[yayaya25]

I want to import a solidworks sketch to mastercam X. All I can do is save a solid as an .iges but all I need is the sketch. Is there a better way to do this? It wont let me save a sketch as an .iges.

Create a dwg and save as DXF. Import into MasterCAM as DXF.

What version of MasterCAM? MasterCAM X can read in native SWx files. I would just create a feature and read that into MasterCAM.....unless you really want a 2D element then follow Chris' instructions
