Question on translating MC9 files for Solidworks/SolidCam

[SledGeek]

One of our sister companies has hundreds of mc9 files and needs to tranlate them to something Solidworks/SolidCam can read. Obviously I could open and save as.......but there are tooooooo many. Is there a way to batch out translating files ? I really don't have time to do this for them.

I'm fairly certain you can do this with an MC VBScript.

Worst case scenario, it's either a net-hook or a c-hook.

[gcode]

You can use your X5 Import Folders to bring them into X5

and then use Export folders to send them out as step or parasolid.

step export can include wireframe, parasolid usually givers you better solids,

but won't include wireframe

Yeah G, that's the backup plan. I was hoping to avoid my complete involvement, it opens too many doors that I will become responsible for in another far far away galaxy I have the X5, they don't. Where I work, once you help, you own it . Which I don't mind helping, but here they will use it like a crutch....over and over. Tell them how to do it=Give a man a fishing pole and .........

Thnx. I will try that. I'll have to convert the first batch for them in the meantime.
