ProE IGS import

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Lee Bazalgette - factorydesign, Oct 9, 2006.

  1. Hey all,

    I've been having serious problems importing ProE files since installing
    SW2007. Can anyone verify that they can import an IGS exported from PRO
    correctly?

    Thanks

    Lee

    I can from ProE 2001 with the surfaces option. SW should also be able
    to import a plain PRT file as well, so try saving a copy out, but don't
    use the 'analyze completely' option.

  3. yeah, I wasn't having trouble before, it's a recent thing:

    Importing IGS (from Pro E) makes an empty assembly with a lot of empty
    parts.

    Importing ProE Assembly using BREP or IGS (not analysis) does it's thing and
    then claims the name is invalid and there's nothing to see.

    I have resorted to importing all the ProE parts individually using BREP and
    then making the assembly myself

    BORING

    Thanks for your tips though!
