NoelStalker Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Hello all. My customer wants my ACAD drawing in a solidworks compatible format. He would like me to get it in a STEP file format (.STP). Is there any software out there that will do this? I would prefer it to be free or very cheap. Thanks for your help! Quote
stevsmith Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I'm pretty sure that you could export it as a .sat file Quote
NoelStalker Posted March 27, 2009 Author Posted March 27, 2009 stevsmith, Thanks for the response. I have exported a .SAT (ACIS) file and they say that they cannot import it - that it is corrupt. Still searching online for a way to convert DWG to STP Quote
stevsmith Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 This may sound really silly. (i havent used sw in a few years) Doesn't solidworks come with a draughting program similar to Autocad that can open .dwg files, surely they could open it in that as a dwg and then import it from that as an .stp or sw equivelant?

czc Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Get someone with a new acad version to save it in a new acad format, then it should import. Quote
Cad64 Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 Take a look at this thread: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=31307 Quote
JD Mather Posted March 27, 2009 Posted March 27, 2009 I have exported a .SAT (ACIS) file and they say that they cannot import it - that it is corrupt. Can you post a *.sat file here that they indicated was corrupt? This should be relatively painless. Quote
