IronCAD -> SolidWorks using FeatureWorks

    Just wondering whether anyone has had experience bringing IronCAD files
    into SolidWorks and what kind of results they had? I'll probably have
    an opportunity later this week to try translating a moderately complex
    assembly, and I'll want to use FeatureWorks to try to recoup parametric
    flexibility. Is it best to translate out from IronCAD using IGES?
    Step? ACIS? Does IronCAD translate out Parasolid? Does it work to
    translate out from the assembly file, or must one individually tranlate
    out parts?

    TIA

    Hi Spork,

    Ironcad 3.0 and up will output Parasolid. IC doesn't have an assembly
    environment. All parts, whether 1 or 1000 live in a "scene". SW will
    recognize a multi part parasolid as an assembly.

    Regards
