Hi,
I have the Solidworks 2013-2014 edition and I'm having trouble opening the .Prt files. I am able to physically double click and open up the Pro/E & Creo to Solidworks Converter window. However, after hitting "okay," Solidworks does not process or load anything. In the bottom right corner, it does say "processing" sometimes but it will stay that way for 30 minutes and not load anything (My computer has run solidworks fine before, just after getting a new hard drive does it not work). I have searched all over the forums for an answer and have tried changing extension name and tried all the converter options. Thanks for the help!
Welcome to SolidWorks forums Kevin.
You can import Pro/ENGINEER files up to version Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 (formerly Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5) using SolidWorks 2014 PR1 or SW2013 (this is for commercial version and not sure what education version supports but I feel it should be same for that also).
Your files are made with Creo 2.0 which means SW can't open it up. Can you ask the person who sent you the files to send you IGES, parasolid or some other format which you can open in SW.
