solidworks to pro-e

[mechbull]

what is your best method for exporting from solidworks to pro-e
I have been doing IGES files and have been having to fix a lot of surfaces when I do
is there a better way?

Mechbull,

Here is a link to an interesting article I copied off the net regarding your problem.

I've had great success using STeP and IGES. I would take a look at your geometry to see if that's a problem.

Depending on your version of pro/E, you could try a Parasolids export. WF2 can import them.
