Using SW2003 SP1.0 (also tried SP3. 1

[automationbabe]

Using SW2003 SP1.0 (also tried SP3.0 ) and Pro/E 2000i2 with latest patch.

We have recently discovered that some of our conversions from Pro/E via .step are not coming into SW accurately. A good number of them convert badly as well, leaving us with twanged parts.

I was wondering if anyone has stumbled across a combination of settings that our Pro/E users should be using, and our SW user's should be using to get an accurate conversion?

I've also posted in SW forum.

Any information is helpful. Thanks a bunch!

I've found that some files convert from Pro/E into SolidWorks better via IGES rather than STEP. It's kind of hit and miss - If one method gives unacceptable results, try the other. Also, make sure the Pro/E file is a good model.
