  1. I got this straight from Mastercam: There is no way to open SW2012 in X2. X5 MU1 will open 2012 files. X6 MU3 will open 2013 SolidWorks files.
  2. "Looks like you're expecting Forward Compatibility..." - no just looking to see if there is any compatibility published anywhere. Must be buy it and try it mentality? I guess we already have "Forward Compatibility" don't we if X2 MR2SP1 opens SW2010.SLDPRT files. Jay - thks. What does Direct Conv. - Mastercam X5 Direct for Solidworks 32-bit application do?
  3. Thanks for the reply, but my testing here with SW2010 & SW2012 had different results. When Mastercam X_ cannot open the SW file it gives the same error in all cases, "Cannot find Parasolid data in SolidWorks file." Yes I know you can save it off in SW in about 56 flavors of Parasolids, but that is too time consuming to do that here. 32x XP station X2MR2SP1 - opens SW2010.SLDPRT and will NOT open SW2010.SLDASM. Will not open any SW2012 files. X4MU3 - opens SW2010.SLDPRT and will NOT open SW2010.SLDASM. Will not open any SW2012 files. 64x XP station X4MU3 - opens SW2010.SLDPRT and opens SW2010.SLDASM. Will not open any SW2012 files. Will X5SP0 open SW2012? Any other method or settings to get Mastercam to open these files natively. I saw one suggestion online to install SW Document Manager, although I do not know why that would work.
  4. Is there a list published anywhere of what file types can be opened in a Mastercam X version? I would like to know what version SolidWorks native parts files can be opened in each version of Mastercam X2, X3, X4 & X5. Meaning these file versions: SW2009.sldprt & SW2009.sldasm, SW2010.sldprt & SW2010.sldasm, SW2011.sldprt & SW2011.sldasm, SW2012.sldprt & SW2012.sldasm, SW2013.sldprt & SW2013.sldasm. The manual simple says Mastercam supports these file types: Pro E, SolidWorks, Inventor, etc.... with out listing any versions.
