You can save files in solidworks as ProE .prt files. You don't retain the features, but the geometry remains. If you don't have solidworks handy, then I don't believe that ProE has an interpreter for it.
 
I have been running pro and soild works for a while and there has been posted a lot of how to save from one file format to another. Any way it is done it will import to a file like a step, iges etc. You are going to lose the properties weather you go from soild works to ptc or the reverse. I as wuuld a lot of people like to see the kernal formating have standards so we can move from software to software. I know that this is a business thing but I don't think any software will control the market and what they are doing ismaking things harder for all of us and creating a bottleneck in file transfer that hurts the whole country.
 
hi guys,


did you performed any progress in converting from solidworks to proe?


Ihave searched a bit, but all the applications I have found are "pay for translate" and not integrated or developed for free, or do not translate with the model tree.


so..
anyone as made progress?
regards!
