Re: Solidworks to UG quality
Parasolid is the best neutral format between UG and SW, as it is the kernel for both (for now).

Re: Solidworks to UG quality
We do the same thing and what I do is insert a coordinate system and export based on that as the UG file opens 90° out.
And the kernal for both programs is parasolid so that's probably the best.

Re: Solidworks to UG quality
We would have to supply the detail (.slddrw) files also, how should I translate over?

Re: Solidworks to UG quality
We have customers that use UG and they are always requesting step files rather than parasolids files. When they import a step file it comes into UG as individual part models like SW does. If they use parasolids files the assembly comes in as one file with multiple bodies and is harder for them to work with.

Re: Solidworks to UG quality
Thanks for the replies on the solid modeling, I've seen the same thing as John between prarsolid and step. I'm still unsure on the detailed drawings end of it, i don't see where I can save to a .jt file. How do you transfer over your .slddrw files for the ug users?

Re: Solidworks to UG quality
Drawings will not come over. You will have to re-create. This is typical for any 3D cad. Solid models can be translated but not the drawings.
Create PDF's or dwg/dxf's of all your drawings and archive those for future use.
Cheers,
Anna
