I have received a step file from a company we are working with. If I import it in Solidworks, I get an assembly - imported_1.asm with parts imported_9, etc. (I have other imported files in this folder which is why the numbers are starting higher than 1). If I import the same step file into Pro/E, all of the parts in the assembly come in with names that look like they came out of the other CAD system (Keycreator). Is it possible to get Solidworks to bring in a step with names other than imported_...?
Thanks,
Carrie
Hi Carrie,
In fact, you can do nothing to get SolidWorks to use any other way to set names.
But this is very strange that the names differ from those in ProE.
Is the original model in Keycreator an assembly?
Could you provide this step file, I'll take a look at it?
Thanks,
Andrey
