Alias Wire files not importing

Neil Marten May 25, 2016 10:21 AM

Alias Wire files are listed as one of the input types that work with Solidworks Visualize but I cannot get any of them to import. I also noticed that the drop down in the Import dialog box does not show .wire as a registered file type. Is .wire compatibility something that was accidentally put on the website and not in the product or is it coming soon?

thanks

I believe, if you don't have Alias installed on the same computer it wont show up. It works properly on my computer

Hi Neil,

Jason is correct. You need to have Alias installed on the same machine as Visualize in order to import .wire files into Visualize. The copy of Alias doesn't have to be licensed, it just needs to be installed on the same machine.

Thanks. Yes, this is an older file I wanted to try in Visualize. i currently don't have Alias installed on this machine. I will install the trial and see if it works.
