Sep 10, 2018 File Type Options. When importing 3D models from another software, requesting the proper file format can be daunting and prone to errors if you're not sure what you're looking for. During an import, you can access a full list of file formats that SOLIDWORKS can open up. ![]() Contents • • The ACIS™ translator supports import and export of body and face colors, curves, and wireframe geometry. • You can import Adobe ® Illustrator ® files into SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS models and drawings to Adobe Illustrator files. • You can import Adobe ® Photoshop ® (.psd) files and save SOLIDWORKS data (sketches, parts, assemblies, and drawings) as Adobe Photoshop files. SOLIDWORKS data saved as Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf) files are also accepted in Photoshop. • The Inventor Part translator imports Autodesk Inventor ® part and assembly files as SOLIDWORKS part documents. The imported part files can contain features or geometry only. • The CADKEY ® translator imports CADKEY part and assembly files as SOLIDWORKS part or assembly documents. CADKEY files have a.prt or.ckd file extension. • The CATIA ® Graphics (CGR) translator imports CGR files as SOLIDWORKS part documents or exports SOLIDWORKS part or assembly documents as CATIA graphics files that users can view in CATIA, CATweb, and DMU Navigator. CGR files contain only graphical information and are for viewing only • You can import CATIA ® V5 CATPart and CATProduct files. • The DXF 3D translator extracts ACIS information from a DXF file, if that information exists in the file, and imports it into a SOLIDWORKS part document. If a DXF file contains multiple bodies or an assembly, SOLIDWORKS creates an assembly document. • You can import and export DXF/DWG files. • In eDrawings you can view and animate models and drawings and create documents convenient for sending to others. • The Highly Compressed Graphics (HCG) translator exports SOLIDWORKS documents as Highly Compressed Graphics files. • The HOOPS translator exports SOLIDWORKS part or assembly documents as HOOPS (.hsf) files. • Using CircuitWorks Lite, you can import Intermediate Data Format (IDF) circuit board files (.emn,.brd,.bdf,.idb) and create solid models of the circuit boards and their components. Autocad import points from excel. The model is a single part with the board and each component as extruded features. • You can export SOLIDWORKS files as Industry Foundation Classes.ifc files (either IFC 2x3 or IFC 4.0) for use in software applications commonly used in the building supply chain. You can import.ifc files into the SOLIDWORKS software to include information from models originally created with structural software applications. • The IGES translator can import and export IGES surfaces and BREP solids. • The JPEG translator takes a snapshot of anything displayed in the graphics window of a SOLIDWORKS part, assembly, or drawing document, and exports it as a.jpg file. • You can export SOLIDWORKS models, including models with motion studies, to *.lxo files. You can then import the *.lxo files into MODO ®, the rendering product created by Luxology LLC. • The MDT translator imports part and assembly information from Mechanical Desktop ® (MDT) files as SOLIDWORKS part or assembly documents. • You can set the export options when you export SOLIDWORKS part or assembly documents as Parasolid files. • You can export SOLIDWORKS part, assembly, and drawing documents as Adobe ® Portable Document Format (PDF) files and part and assembly documents as 3D PDF. • You can save SOLIDWORKS files as *.png files. • The Pro/E & Creo to SOLIDWORKS Converter imports and exports Pro/ENGINEER ® and Creo Parametric files, including PTC Creo 3.0 files. • Rhino ® files (*.3dm) provide NURBS and analytic surfaces for free-form shapes. • The Solid Edge translator imports the Parasolid information of Solid Edge ® parts (including sheet metal parts) or assemblies into SOLIDWORKS part or assembly documents. Only the Parasolid information is extracted, not the proprietary feature information. • The STEP translator supports import and export of body, face and curve colors of STEP AP214 files. ![]() The STEP AP203 standard does not have any color implementation. • Stereolithography is a three-dimensional printing process that makes a solid object from a computer image. The process, also called rapid prototyping, creates parts using a faceted mesh representation in STL files. • • You can set the export options when you export SOLIDWORKS documents as TIFF, Adobe ® Photoshop ®, or JPEG files.
