Solidworks part file direct import to MCX6

[dhusa2013]

What versions of solidworks does MC X6 accept direct SLDPRT files? Having issues with 2010 to MC X6 direct import. Can do it with parasolids, but would rather not. Is there a patch or something that can do older versions?

Thanks

X6 Mu3 will support 2012

Thank you. I'LL check that out.

Can you direct import SolidWorks 2010 to MC X7? I'm sure I tested it on the MC X6 demo. I'm getting a "Cannot find Parasolid data in SolidWorks file" error.

 

We plan to upgrade to SolidWorks 2011 soon; we are in the process of updating and testing our visualization adapters before we can proceed. In order to upgrade to SolidWorks 2012 or 2013 we need to Windchill 10.1.

Cannot find Parasolid data in SolidWorks file" error.

 

Do a search on that string.

It is a common error and an easy repair

I expect x6 is compatible with six 2010

They are sample files with the install. Test mcam by reading sample file. If it reads them, then the install is good

The only result to a search on the string "Cannot find Parasolid data in SolidWorks file” are the two postings in this conversation. I am assuming you meant to search the forum.

 

Would you please be so kind to provide a link to the information on how to fix the error?

Thanks!

Below is link to what I was thinking could be the problem.

The other issue that will cause this error is reading a swx file that is from version newer than your mastercam.

X6 = 2012

X6mu3 = 2013
