Soildworks 2003 file conversion

[kkominiarek]

I am using Mastercam ver9 SP1 mill level 3.

 

I want to do a direct conversion from Solidworks to Mastercam.

 

When I go to convert a Solidworks 2003 file (.sldprt), these are the errors I recieve.

 

warning - can not find parasolid data

warning - error opening

d:.............sworksin.x_b

PK error code 58

 

I can convert Solidworks 2001 files (.sldprt) with no problem.

 

Can Mastercam handle SW2003 files?

Ken the solid works 2003 use parasolid V14 ,V9sp1 use up to V13.2 in the up and coming release of MC 9.1 you will have the newer kernal.

 

Hope this helps.

To convert from SolidWorks 2003 to MasterCam you have to “Save As” parasolid *.x_t, under options set “Output as” Version 13.0.
