[Do...] Posted Tuesday at 07:06 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:06 PM Hi all, I am having some trouble loading CAD models into Calypso 2021. This is a fresh install along with service packs on a new PC (the old one was working properly prior to the switchover). We typically work with .SAT file types so I have not tried to import other CAD types. Would this be worthwhile? Current Calypso version is 7.2.20 (27.02.2023) Thank you.

[Cl...] Posted Tuesday at 07:53 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:53 PM Have you tried .stp or .sab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Za...] Posted Tuesday at 07:59 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:59 PM Are all of the CAD related licenses that you expect present and enabled in Extras > Settings > Misc..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Do...] Posted Tuesday at 08:28 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 08:28 PM All of the related licenses are present and enabled. I was able to load in a .stp file, but I do not see the option to save as .sab within Solidworks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ca...] Posted Wednesday at 01:33 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:33 PM (edited) Donald - I'm wondering if maybe the SolidWorks version is not supported in CALYPSO 2021 since it's a few years old and about a year out of support, so if it's a newer version of SolidWorks, you may not be able to pull those models into CALYPSO 2021. You can check the compatibility under ? - Release Info then search for SoldWorks and you'll be able to see the supported versions.

[Ma...] Posted Wednesday at 01:40 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:40 PM I am asking to save models as ACIS (.sat) but version of that should be 27 - on Calypso 2018 i can not open version 34 ( empty model - nothing loaded ) This is recent ( a few days ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Cr...] Posted Wednesday at 04:43 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:43 PM Try going to File-Load Settings: Make sure Model is selected. After we installed Calypso 2021 No model was automatically selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the release info, Calypso 2021 supports SoldWorks 98-2022. I had a coworker save the file under his 2022 version and Calypso accepted it.

[Ow...] Posted Thursday at 02:01 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:01 PM In Solidworks, when choose to save as an ACIS (*.sat), select the Options button and choose which version you want to save it as. I'm running Solidworks 2024 and Calypso 2024 and I have to save it down to at least version 20. We have other CMM's running much older versions of Calypso (one as old 2013) and I have to save the files as version 12 to get them to load correctly in the older versions of Calypso.

[Do...] Posted Thursday at 03:29 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 03:29 PM You're the man Owen! After a few test saves I was able to determine that Calypso 2021 will read ACIS versions 17.0 and lower. This would be great information to be included in the release info that Caitlin had pointed out earlier. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Do...] Posted Thursday at 03:41 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 03:41 PM My apologies for the oversight Martin. I had assumed you were referring to the Calypso service pack version 27 that I had mentioned. I was unaware that ACIS files could be saved as different versions within SolidWorks as well. Thanks for clarifying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
