hoggchadder Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 I need to convert an inventor assembly into a file that solidworks can open and measure parts. Is iges files the only one that solidworks can read? Quote
JD Mather Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 STEP would be a better choice of neutral formats but since SolidWorks uses Parasolid Kernel - that would be even better (*.x_b will give you the smallest file size). Quote
stevsmith Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 step files are handy for part files. If its an assembly file i'd prefer to send a .sat file. Quote
JD Mather Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Why sat rather than Parasolid or STEP? Inventor only outputs ACIS v7 while SolidWorks uses something like ACIS v18 now? Quote
