Convert UG to Solidworks (Even step or IGS)

Mike Philipps Mar 12, 2013 3:45 PM

Hello,

I have a customer that wants to send us Unigraphic files, we would need to convert them to hopefully SolidWorks files, but could deal with igs or stp files. I looked through the forum and found something about Elysium, which is a little more spendy than I was hoping.

We have another company that would do this for us, but we were hoping just to buy a translator program.

Does anyone know/use a good translator?

Hi Mike, there's a unigraphics part file importer built into Solidworks but I don't think it recognizes features.

I know, but sometimes it doesn't work very well. It seems to depend on what version they saved the part in, and how it was saved for export. The people I get my files from do not actually have the UG program, they can only download available parts

  Mike,
  
  It's depends on the type of UG data.
  
  If the UG data has drawing and model in the file, then step is the best. (Now a days less program use iges)
  The best option between UG and SW is parasolid, if it is only model (Parasolid read/write only surface and solid)

You might want to try out UGS/Unigraphics 3D to SolidWorks Translator

I've not used it but a 3 days trial version is available to check/test.
