    I'm trying to take a model from Inventor to Solidworks 2005. I tried
    IGES first but only got surfaces and lots of extra crap. I only really
    need a dumb solid - won't be doing much with it - just seeing how the
    component fits in an assembly. Step, Parasolid, anything I can have
    the Inventor guy do?

    They should be able to go to step or ascii AutoCAD does both I think SW
    imports both. Step I have found to be a good solids translation.

    Did you try opening it as a Native Inventor File? If that didn't work
    I would try the .sat (ACIS) format.

    I only got it as an IGES file. The inventor translation lists Inventor
    Part I'm not sure if that means assemblies also.
