I have some parasolid data that I import into an empty
assembly.When I read it in it looks fine and I can save it and
close thewindow and re-open the file. The problems comes when I try
to workwith it. I can assemble it as a sub-assembly
into another assembly and save and close window, but when I
openit up I get this message.
The internal document does not match the internal ID savedwith the referencing document. Select YES to accept this documentanyway. Select NO to browse for a replacement model.
If I select yes the model disappears from the working window, andthe parts are in the model tree grayed out. If I open up one of theparts I can't see it in the working window either.
I am a new user and do not know what any of this information means.If anyone has any information I would appreciate the help. Thanks,have a good day.

I have a similar question. Besides parts & assemblies, can SolidWorks import drawings from other CAD systems? I have a drawing of a stamped sheetmetal part created in Pro-E (Pro/Sheetmetal module) wilfire 2.0, and would like to export it for import into SolidWorks.
I received this reply from another dual Pro-E / SolidWorks user:
Does this party expect to modify these models or just use the as reference in their assemblies and such? If they require the ability to modify these Pro/E models at will, every non native format will have trouble. FeatureWorks has ton of issues (not just sheetmetal features). So if it's not possible to remodel the parts in native Solidworks\Solid Edge, you could send the Pro/E models out as a Parasolid. This would be compatible with SolidWorks and Solid Edge, but expect features to fall off. By the way, SolidWorks and Solid Edge use the same 'basic' Parasolid engine, but formatting is slightly different. Personally, I would take advantage of the option to send them your native Pro/E models and then they can convert them as they require. We always send out a native file and have the vendor deal with any format conversion.
How succesful are other SolidWorks users at importing Pro-E sheemetal parts? Is there a config setting in FeatureWorks with improves the process?
