ERROR reading .SLDPRT file

[Ripper3785]

file is PADDLE13.SLDPRT on the ftp under unspecified uploads.

 

When I do file-converters-parasolid-read file and pick it, I get 'Warning' - Cannot find Parasolid data in SolidWorks file, I click ok and then get the Parasolid read parameters window, tried both solids and trimmed surfaces, then ok, then I get 'Warning - error opening c:mc91commontemp081155sworksin.x_b'

then 'ERROR in GETMOD.' 'Parasolid Kernel Interface Error: PK error code : 58 - key not found'

 

Ohh...haha, now it finally makes sense, it's because I don't have something on my sim or other piece of software? I have 9.1 Router with Solids..

 

Any help is appreciated, never dealt with this type of file before. I don't even really know what it is, sales just forwarded the email to me.

It works fine for me. I put the MC9 file in the MC9 files directory.

 

You must use parasolid import and set extension to *.sldprt. If you do not have solids it should come in as surfaces.

Mike,

 

Thanks. I followed the steps you mentioned and that's when I got the errors described above. I got the MC9 file from the FTP so I'm all set now.

I believe you need to update your data translators which you can do at www.mastercam.com

 

Go to the Support, Current Downloads area.

 

Download the dec03translators.zip and any newer updates related to SW.

Could also be that the .sldprt file was created in SW2005. A SW file that was created in an earlier version and resaved in SW2005 seems to convert just fine but a new part gives errors.

SW2005 saves in parasolid v15 but MC can only read 14.1. Apparently the issue is being addressed.

 

Until then, SW files need to be saved as .x_t (v14.1)

Could also be that the file contains Surfaces and NOT solids data.

I actually had trouble loading *.sldprt files (through MC)

until I loaded solidworks on my PC.

Is it me or does this have something to do with it.
