Converting SolidEdge files to Mcam X

[Wet-Tech]

Is there anyway to convert native SolidEdge 3d .asm and 2d .dft files into Mastercam?

 

I would like to do this without converting to parasolid, iges, dwg, ...etc

I haven't run into any of those formats, and Mastercam currently does not support them. According to the documentation in the software SolidEdge provides is with, we can only handle .PAR and .PSM files.

Could you send me a sample of the .ASM and .DFT files? I'm inclined to think that .DFT won't work, since what we're doing is extracting the Parasolid solid info from the SolidEdge file, but perhaps we could find a way to read the .ASM file.

Note that on several CAD packages, the .ASM is simply a list of part files and their orientations, so you may also need to send me the underlying .PAR files too

I have sent the requested files to [email protected] subject to Pete Rimkus

 

The .dft files are the ones I really need to read, so the wire guy can use that geometry to program from or will Mcam X for the wire support wire cutting from a Solid?
