User2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I just received a SLDPRT file. Does anyone have any knowledge on how to convert a SLDPRT file to a .dwg file? I don't have access to SolidWorks. I just have CAD2012! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Try Inventor Fusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Or contact the person who sent you the file and tell them you need a .dwg, .dxf or .sat file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotchy Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 SLDPRT is a file that is native to Solidworks only. It is a 3-D file. It cannot be converted into a dwg file which is a 2-D file native to Autocad. Some dwg files can be imported into Solidworks and if corrected to requirements can be used to extrude, etc, and converted to SLDPRT but not the other way around.

ReMark Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Do you mean all this time I was creating 3D models in AutoCAD they were really just 2D? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 SLDPRT is a file that is native to Solidworks only. It is a 3-D file. It cannot be converted into a dwg file Gotchy Of course it can be converted. AutoCAD 2012 will convert it directly, or use FREE Inventor Fusion http://labs.autodesk.com if no access to AutoCAD 2012. If requesting an ACIS file (*.sat) be sure to tell them ACIS v7. They likely don't have a clue how to change that - so just use the sldprt file coverted in Fusion (assuming the sldprt is not of a later version than Fusion.

User2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 I assume that I am doing the same thing. First open SW file in Autocad Inventor, then save it in dwg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I assume that I am doing the same thing. First open SW file in Autocad Inventor, then save it in dwg. Now I am confused. Are you using AutoCAD or are you using Autodesk Inventor or are you using Inventor Fusion? Did you in fact get it all to work or not?

JD Mather Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I don't have access to SolidWorks. I just have CAD2012 What is "CAD2012"? There are many different CAD programs. SolidWorks 2012 is CAD 2012. CAD = Computer Aided Design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
