Load a SolidWorks model (.SLDPRT)

[[Ni...]]

Hello everyone,

For a test, I need to load an .SLDPRT file in Calypso. However, I can't load it because I keep getting a message saying that the option is not available.

We don’t use SolidWorks, so I assume I simply don’t have the license for this, right?
Does anyone know if there are time-limited trial licenses available for this and where to get them (Support, Sales, etc.)? 

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

You can try to save the .SLDPRT file as .STEP file and Calypso will be able to read it.

Are you sure? As far as I know Calypso can only read SAT/SAB and possibly DXF (?) without an additional license. Everything else needs an option license.

That's correct—STEP is a licensed format, just like CATIA and others. SAT and SAB are the only royalty-free formats. I'm not sure about DXF.
