Did you tried opening Pro E files directly into the Solidworks.

    Parasolid always works best for me. Make sure to uncheck surfaces when saving as a parasolid from Pro-E.

      I can suggest you to open the pro-e files directly in solidworks,Thats better always.
      Even it ill allow you to edit the model,In error point of view you should check all revolved features after u converted to solidworks.

        If the Pro-E part files are Solid parts created using surface modeling or hybrid modeling techniques, they typically have gaps when opened inside SolidWorks that cannot be easily healed. I prefer to export Pro-E parts as STEP files before importing into SolidWorks as it is easier to heal gaps or faces if needed.
        
        If exporting STEP does not work, I would try exporting IGES files from Pro-E as a backup method. Opening Pro-E files directly in SolidWorks works okay if the geometry is not too complex.
