vector file import

[sdb999]

Is it possible to import a vector file, like corel might produce, into solidworks as a sketch?

You may import DXF, DWG, IGES, STEP, ACIS and Parasolid.

That depends on the file type (extension).

SW can import Adobe Illustrator files.

Thanks folks.

Adobe can export to DXF. I don't know about Corel.

There is a shareware program called "GhostScript" that reads and translates between many vector formats, include postscript, PDF, and DXF.

Make sure your file is all vector elements and free of raster elements.

Honesty may be the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.
