Scan to 3D Add-on not working

Kevin Lipkin Jun 14, 2007 8:24 PM

Hello,
I need to import a 3D Studio Max file into SolidWorks. Apparently SolidWorks can do this if Scan-to-3d is activated. I have SW Office Profesional so this should be included andis installed. However, when I gotools->add-ins->checkbox Scan to 3d, and then click OK,nothing happens. The next time I go to Tools->Add Ins,Scan to 3d is unchecked as before. I can do this as manytimes as I'd like and I can never get Scan-to-3d to stay selected.Help + Thanks, Kevin

    Scan-to-3D is part of SolidWorks Premium not Professional.

        Kevin,
        
        Are you Beta Testing SolidWorks 2008? If so I have run into an issue with ScanTo3D not running properly in SW2007 while SW2008 is installed.
        
        Let me know if you are and I'll post the fix.
        
        Best Regards,

        Thanks for all the help guys, I finally figured it out.
        
        I was having issues with other add-ons as well and called mycompany's software license people. It turns out that my company has7 SW seats (6 SW pro), but only 1 SW Premium seat. So, I couldalways use solidworks, but when someone else was using a premiumadd-in, I couldn't use any premium add ins. I wish SW would givesome sort of error message, instead of just unchecking my add-inselection.
        All's good now. Thanks
