I did a search on this but only came up with a bunch of different answers from 2004 and older. Is there a way for me to automatically convert the ProE files? Assemblies? Looking for any advice on the import settings too.

Thanks

Tim

Importing Pro/ENGINEER Files into SolidWorks
The Pro/ENGINEER translator imports Pro/ENGINEER part or assembly files as SolidWorks part or assembly documents. The attributes, features, sketches, and dimensions of the Pro/ENGINEER part are imported. If all of the features in the file are not supported, you can choose to import the file as either a solid body or a surface model. The Pro/ENGINEER translator supports import of free curves, wireframes, and surface data.

When importing an assembly, you can control how to import individual components. Sub-assemblies are supported as well.

You can import Pro/ENGINEER surface-trim and surface-extend features into SolidWorks. These features are read in from the Pro/ENGINEER file and mapped to SolidWorks.

Some known limitations are as follows:

Version Information - Versions 17 through 2001 of Pro/ENGINEER are supported. Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire™ files are not supported.

Assembly features are not supported.
