Re: Opening a UGI file in Solidworks
It will depend on the file version of the UGI part.
No the history will not come over, if it imports it will come in as an imported item in the tree and in essence be a "dumb solid".

Re: Opening a UGI file in Solidworks
Kris, I'm still using SW2006 and I open my old UG parts all the time. Make sure that SW can find all the files if you're opening an assembly.
And no, it can't retain any features BUT you can do a SW feature recognition.

Re: Opening a UGI file in Solidworks
Thanks for the replies!!
Actually the file was created in NX6 but it does have teh .prt extension and NX was evolved from Unigraphics. I tried quite a few part files (no assemblies) and they all does the same thing. I can open all these files in NX6 and NX7 but when I open them in SolidWorks I do not get see any part on my screen although I do a Fit to screen.
Thanks for all response.
Kris.

Re: Opening a UGI file in Solidworks
I'm not familiar with NX, but if you have access to NX then you should try exporting them as a parasolid file (.x_t). This is the native filetype for both NX and SolidWorks, so it should export/import without any issues.
