Import from a diffrent format

Hi,

 

If I wanted to import a model which has been created using the Rhino software, do I need to have the Rhino software installed on my computer to be able to import directly into SolidWorks.

 

And is the same also true for models created using Inventor.

 

Or should I ask the supplier to save the model as an ACIS file. If he did this would features such as holes / bevels etc be imported?

 

Thanks

 

Mark (SolidWorks 2010 SP1)

Correct Answer

According to http://help.solidworks.com/2010/English/SolidWorks/sldworks/ImpExp/Rhino_Files.htm Rhino does not need to be installed.

 

According to http://help.solidworks.com/2010/English/SolidWorks/sldworks/ImpExp/Autodesk_Inventor_Files.htm Inventor or Inventor View is required to be installed.
