Can you view ProE dwg in S/W? 1

[syusuf]

I am using solidworks 2005 and I am able to convert ProE parts and assemblies. Is it possible to open ProE dwgs in solidworks. Is there a ProE viewer which I can download from somewhere so that I can view ProE dwgs like solidworks viewer does. Thank-you for your help.

SW does not view, nor does it open Pro-E Drawings. You can only open Parts and Assemblies can be opened into SW. They cannot be viewed until they are opened and saved as SW files.

Check Pro-E site or ask that question on the Pro-e Fora. I don't know about Pro-E not my specialty. forum554

Someone recently sent me a Pro-E part file that was saved (in the Pro-E program) as an IGS file. I was able to open their Pro-E IGS part file in Solidworks, but only as a "dumb" file. I was unable to edit it. However I was able to split the part in half.

SW will open IGES files and if your using SW04 Sp2.1 it will open native Pro-E files and try to make it into a part with features. There is no question about that. His question is will SW open a Pro-E Drawing and the answer is no.
