B. Ludin Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Is there a way to import .sldprt formatted parasolid files into IC? Beat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 The .sldprt could possibly be translated to a Parasolid .x_t file using a 3rd party software. The the .x_t file could be directly imported by IronCAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlehnhaeuser Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Beat brinsg up a good point. I think if we could red native SolidWorks Parts that would be a tremendous plus. Once again My2cents tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Twining Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Yeah... think of all the maintenance you could do to screwed up parts by helping out the poor souls stuck with SW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 A great idea of course, would help our sales too. However, we have the cooperation of PRO/E and CATIA with our abilities to import their native files. Without SolidWorks agreement the issue is problematic at best. I think 10.0 might be importing another major CAD native file, should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 We have the ability to add the SW import. It is just a matter of how critical or useful it is to our customers. If it is critical, we can look at adding this option in a future version. Maybe a poll of customers could give a better insight to the interest level.

dhovatter Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Check out TRANSMAGIC.COM THey sell a translator that will convert i think. I had a customer who provided this type files and I could not afford the translator to convert so I had to find 2D drawing for each component and create 3D for that. I would like to see these added to IC in future. Dallas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernd Meißner Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Check out TRANSMAGIC.COM THey sell a translator that will convert i think. 18020[/snapback] Well, Transmagic is based on ACIS and will screw up any assembly structures and hierarchies contained in a file. This could be done better... Yes, a native SW importer for IC would be nice :-) Bernd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Ludin Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 How is X_T different from .SLDPRT? Both are Parasolid-based formats right? Beat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 No, just like .ics is not the same as ACIS or Parasolid. .sldprt is basically a bucket filled with Parasolid and many other types of data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlehnhaeuser Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) How is X_T different from .SLDPRT? Both are Parasolid-based formats right? Beat 18035[/snapback] X_T is parasolid format - (http://filext.com/file-extension/X_T) .SLDPRT is native SolidWorks part file ( SolidWorks is parasolid based application) - http://filext.com/file-extension/SLDPRT So SolidWorks users typically export to X_T to send files to IronCAD users (sometimes will use STP as well). tom Edited August 7, 2007 by tlehnhaeuser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tlehnhaeuser Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Well apparently this is not an important tool for most current IronCAD users. But sorry to say guys it is the non-current IronCAD users I'm interested in, if you get my drift ;-) tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work with another engineer that uses SolidWorks, and it would be a great thing to have. I can't imagine people not being interested in having this ability.

Cary OConnor Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 If this option would become available, what is a reasonable cost for the option (because I doubt it could be free). Just want to get an idea to see if it is possible. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlehnhaeuser Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Thats a hard one, I think it would need to be extremely low cost since I believe other apps have it included in their app (then again they charge more for their app). My rough guess would be under $200.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
